I assume no but thought I'd better check here.

I stand corrected.

 The answer appears to be YES if the firewood is used as fuel in a residence.

It depends on your state laws. Sales taxes are state taxes, not Federal taxes. OK and WI do not necessarily have the same tax laws. You need to get your answer from someone familiar with WI sales tax laws.

Unless you are selling to a wholesaler, who is going to collect the sales tax from the end user, I strongly suspect that you are responsible for collecting and turning in the WI State Sales Tax of 5%.
Some information here.

It's a good thing I checked here. I though that since I get the wood free I shouldn't charge tax. I'll check into this with my accoutant on Monday.

Thanks

Bull is correct - if you want to see it in writing, check out page 23 in the following publication

Thanks for that tip. I thought only "food" was exempt in WI.  Not so, as you point out.

Now, lets see if I've got this right. If I were in Wisconsin and sold my lumber as firewood, there would be no sales tax. Can I help it if the customer does not burn it and uses it for something else.
