I've got a question to add to the mix.

Let's say I buy a gun from a supplier out of state (TX). I also buy some accessories from the supplier, and he gives me an invoice that looks like this:

GUN $500
ACCESSORIES $100
SHIPPING $50

I then have the supplier ship the gun to an FFL in WA to perform a SSE on the gun. The FFL in WA then ships the gun + SSE parts to a CA FFL, and he also ships the accessories directly to me.

Now, the WA FFL gives me another invoice:

SSE Fee $100

When I bring these two invoices into my CA FFL to do the transfer on the gun, what does he charge me tax on? Is it:

a) Tax on the total of both invoices ($650 + $100) for a total of $750
b) Tax on everything but the accessories ($550 + $100) for a total of $650
c) Tax on the gun + SSE and prorated on the shipping for the accessories.
d) Something else?

Conversely, when I show the invoices to the CA FFL, can I simply black out the accessories line item? Say, I don't want him to see the sex toy attachment for my gun (basically, what else I buy is none of his business)...
