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. Just send us any notices from the state and we will update our task and keep on truckin’. - I got a nasty letter from the state. What should I do? We handle all notices and communications you receive from the state(s) 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.
