Avalara Is Great At Calcuation And Filing Gets A Bit Iffy Outside Of That

- Avalara Returns
We use Avalara Returns to integrate seamlessly with Avalara's AvaTax, and this is very efficient and cost effective. We have found that the "backfiling" service is so expensive it isn't even worth looking at - I was once quoted $1500 per return for a backfiling with the complete data already in their system.

- Avalara Returns
- CertCapture
We have benefited from using both Avalara Returns and CertCapture. They both make it easy to manage and track tax returns and customer exemptions. Majority of our customers are exempted so having CertCapture manage our exemptions makes our lives much easier, especially when it comes to our customer who are either missing or have expired exemption certificates.
Worthy Investment for Sales Tax

- Avalara Returns
Avalara return filing has saved my organization 80+ hours per month on sales tax filings per entity. We have 5 entities in the US right now that use Avalara's sales tax and return filing capabilities. So that's about 400 hours saved per month on returns filing. We are a small sales tax team of 2, and would have required to hire at least 1-2 additional headcount if we did not use Avalara Returns for filing sales tax returns for 5 entities.
