There are many rural areas in the US where the physical address is not in the USPS database and as such "does not exist" (the USPS only has PO Boxes). That makes using any address neigh impossible for accurate tax calculations.

Are there multiple sales tax regimes operating within the span of one PO Box? Doubtful than anyone on either side will worry about that case
