Sales tax remitting software is great to pull your data to autofill tax returns to be filed, and even with that, working with a competent commerce accounting team is strongly recommended.

They all have content about filing sales tax returns and general steps on how to register on your own.

Since they don’t do the sales tax registrations (which can change quarterly), they only give you general steps, which will lead to delays and mistakes.

Our sales tax permit registration service is the first step that allows you to update your tax settings in the various platforms you sell to collect and remit sales tax.

Once you are registered, and collecting sales tax, working with a software company or one of our partners, is the next step to file your sale tax returns.

If you are a CPA or e-commerce accounting firm, we will not compete with the work you are already doing since that is not what we do.

There are several reasons why our process is the most completed and efficient.

Since we started registering thousands for sales tax back in 2015, we have improved our comprehensive sales tax application to simplify the process and information we need from you. Our application is secure and encrypted.

Our comprehensive sales tax application will save us time when completing other state applications online or when fax or mailing is required (without an SSN for the signer).

Since we are applying daily, we are in constant contact with the various state departments of revenue and keep up with the critical updates and changes (which are ongoing).

Our instructions (both written and video overview) will help explain each step of our application and process so that you can focus your time on your business, not sales tax registration.

All your login details for your tax accounts that we set up are saved in a secure area for easy future access.

When you are ready to re-order more state sales tax permit registrations, you will have access to your saved application to add the states you need vs. having to start from scratch and complete the entire application.

Our sales tax application will provide guidance and clear examples to help you determine when you first had nexus, your start date, and costly application mistakes to avoid.

We double-check your application for any inconsistencies that may trigger unnecessary state issues.

If you need support with a sales tax nexus analysis to provide you with a clear and accurate report, recommended states, and time frames to register, we provide those services.

After payment, you will receive our welcome email with a link to both our sales tax system agreement (a review of our 8-step process) and our sales tax application.

The sales tax application is where you will select the states where you would like us to register your business. Our sales tax application includes very clear instructions and examples for each section.

We have consolidated all the questions over the years to improve our instructions and video training, to make this easy for you. Once you submit our sales tax application with your selected states, our advanced sales tax team will carefully review your sales tax application and follow up for clarification or suggested changes before we move forward to apply.

Separately, we will send you a separate payment link with the state fees to pay.

Yes. If you do not have an EIN/FEIN, we are able to provide that separate service for you. Learn more

Yes, it is strongly recommended. 26 states will mail either the PIN, a code, or the actual permit to the address used on the application.

These items are critical to complete your tax account and get into compliance.

Also, on average, you may receive 3-5 pieces of mail to sort and organize per state over the first three months.

Most mail may be information or past returns to file, but some will be important notices about your sales tax account, past sales tax due, or delinquent notices.

We recommend our Virtual Address Service with scanning for all sellers. Learn more here.

Before you go through our process to register for your sales tax permits, you will want to be clear on which states you need to register.

If you are not clear on which states, we have our sales tax nexus analysis service to help you determine which states.

You will also need to know when you triggered nexus in a state and which effective date or registration date you will want to use for each state. Our sales tax application provides suggestions and examples.

If you prefer a one-on-one consultation about your registration date, past sales tax due, or other issues, we recommend a separate strategy call.

You will also need to know your estimated total taxable sales per month. We do provide an example and training for this part in our sales tax application.
