Sales Tax Compliance
Multi-state sales tax compliance, handled
We track your sales tax obligations, manage returns, help resolve state notices, and support you through audits - with the level of hands-on assistance determined by your plan.
Why founders choose us
Sales tax mistakes compound quietly.
With thousands of taxing jurisdictions and rules that keep changing, small mistakes turn into penalties and interest, often long before anyone notices.
Nexus can start with sales, employees, or inventory in any state
State notices arrive by mail and email, often with tight deadlines
Product and service taxability differs from state to state
Audits look back years, not months
With Us vs Without us
Software alone, or software plus experts
Tax software calculates rates. It can't read a state notice, defend an audit, or tell you where you owe next.
Software On Its own
Rates only
calculations, not compliance
Notices pile up
Software can't interpret a state letter or respond to it for you.
Audits land on you
When an auditor calls, you're the one answering.
Misclassified products and services
A wrong taxability setting quietly over- or under-collects.
Missed nexus
New obligations go unnoticed until a state finds them first.

FAQs
Questions founders ask us
-
Is SaaS taxed?
It depends on the state, and sometimes the city: some cities tax software even when their state doesn't. We map it for every state you sell into.
-
When is my sales tax due?
Your assigned filing frequency depends on the volume of transactions you have within a state. Many states will ask about your expected volume of sales during the registration, while other states will initially default your account to monthly filings. Many states will re-evaluate your filing frequency on an annual basis. Forward any state notices to our team, and we'll update your filing schedule and compliance tasks accordingly.
-
I got a nasty letter from the state. What should I do?
We handle all notices and communications you receive from the states regarding sales and use tax. Simply send anything you receive from the state and we’ll handle the rest.
-
Do you offer sales tax compliance as a standalone service?
Yes, we do offer sales tax as a service, without the need for our team to manage your accounting.
-
What is the difference between annual, quarterly, and semi-annual nexus reviews?
Annual (Essential): Every 12 months, we analyze your business for new nexus triggers. Perfect for stable businesses with predictable growth. We look at sales thresholds, new locations, and major business changes.
Semi-Annual (Professional): Every 6 months, we conduct a deeper dive including remote worker analysis, marketplace changes, and detailed threshold tracking. Ideal for growing businesses that need regular monitoring without being excessive.
Quarterly (Enterprise): Every 3 months we will dig into your nexus. We track everything in real-time - employee movements, sales velocity toward thresholds, legislative changes that could affect nexus. Essential for rapidly scaling businesses or those with distributed teams.
