The Truth About Sales Tax–
Software Alone Isn’t Enough
Sales tax is complicated—12,000+ jurisdictions, constantly changing laws, and rising audit activity mean even small mistakes can cost tens of thousands in penalties and interest.
Tax software is essential for calculations, but it can’t:
Interpret confusing state notices
Defend you during an audit
Catch product misclassifications
Accurately categorize new items
Understand your business
That’s why the smartest businesses pair powerful software for accuracy with human experts for strategy, compliance, and defense. Together, they keep you compliant, protected, and focused on growth.

Have questions? We've got you.
-
Is Software as a Service (SaaS) taxed?
While Software as a Service (SaaS) is not taxed in every state, it’s currently taxed in 17 states, and in some states, software is taxed by the city (we’re looking at you Denver!), but not on the state level. Confusing? Yes? Manageable? Heck yes.
-
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's 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.
