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. 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. How do the different notice management tiers work? Essential We review and organize scanned tax mail Alert you about what arrived and what it means Advise on required responses You handle the responses Professional Immediately start working on routine responses Request your approval and respond directly to the notices Enterprise Same-day response guarantee on urgent matters Only involve you for non-routine issues What happens during strategic sales tax planning sessions?
