Does it vary from state to state because I have been buying from CI and they have never done that.
It does say they received info from the State Info Sharing

I guess that I will really have to think twice about purchasing from NHC anymore.

The only way that the state could have known how much to tax is through cooperation from NHC. You should give NHC a call and ask them about it -- ask them how and why and all that, especially given that most other online retailers do not do this...
