I need to add a note (as I suspect most users do) that says that sales tax will be added to orders being shipped within my state.  Is there a way to add that note somewhere in the shopping cart, preferrably where it calculates the sales tax??

It is not currently possible to modify the cart/checkout pages w/ custom text. You could add this text to the header/footer areas, but then it would be included on all of your pages. Instead  you should think about create a page where you describe your shipping, tax, return options and policies. You could provide a link to it in your navigation. Making this information clearly available makes it easier for your shoppers to find this information.
