Questions people actually ask.
Do I actually have to register?
If you crossed a state's threshold, yes. Most states are $100,000 in sales; California, Texas and New York use $500,000. Since South Dakota v. Wayfair in 2018 this hasn't been optional, and penalties run from the date you crossed.
How many states will I owe?
It depends entirely on where your customers are. Sellers in the $1M–$20M range commonly land in ten to twenty. Amazon can create obligations you never chose, because inventory moving between warehouses can create a presence on its own.
Do you handle Amazon, Etsy, Walmart and TikTok?
Yes. Marketplace facilitator rules cover some of it and not all of it, and the split is different in every state. Sorting that out is part of what you're paying for.
Shopify says it files my returns. Why do I need you?
Shopify Tax calculates and can file. It doesn't register you in any state, doesn't track nexus across your other marketplaces, and gives you nothing in an audit. If you sell in one state on Shopify only, you may not need us.
What happens when a state sends me something?
Send it to us, or let it come to us directly. We read it, resolve it with the state, and tell you what it said. Assessments go to a licensed specialist at no extra cost.
Can I leave?
Month to month. Export your filing history any time and we'll hand your registrations off cleanly. Some states require you to stay registered for up to a year after your sales drop off — we'll tell you which ones.
