Why does Steam need my home address?
So I redeemed my code and then Steam asked for my mailing address for sales tax. Are they going to be mailing receipts to my house? I'd prefer electronic receipts. (My parents don't like their college student son "wasting" money on games so I doing all this Steam business under the radar.) The last thing I want is to get stuff sent to my house

The only time I've ever received physical mail from Valve is for my workshop royalties. Receipts for purchases through Steam are processed electronically.

So just be clear, my address is only used for determining tax, that's it?

Correct. You'll not receive a physical bill.

It's also used to determine if your billing address coreesponds to your payment method.
