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

I find Avalara to work very well if you are using a software system that is integrated with Avalara, and it is set up to calculate the tax and file the returns. It is very streamlined and efficient. It doesn't work as well if the tax is calculated elsewhere and you have Avalara filing your returns; the options for getting the tax info into Avalara are very limited.

As a non-profit that relies on volunteers, having a system that is easy to use and cost effective is crucial. Alavara fit both of those needs for us. Also, since this is a task that is completed only once a year, it needs to be simple to use, which Alavara is. And lastly, since the IRS rules are often complicated and change regularly, it is helpful to have a vendor that stays current with the changes and incorporates them into the process which Alavara does.

Avalara is well suited to the clients who do not pay their contractors via QBO. For those clients who are paying contractors directly from QBO or Gusto, it is better to use the 1099 service through them.

Avalara is well suited for us because it makes it easier for us to navigate sales tax and filing state sales tax returns for multiple states. I appreciate how simple they made this process for us, helps save us a great amount of time and allows us to focus on the business. Less appropriate, is that most of our customers are sales exempt and it can be a bit challenging at times with AvaTax overriding our tax calculation within NetSuite. Overall, that issue has been less and less, so we are moving in the right direction.

Avalara assists in adding the calculated tax on all US territories without the need for any manual checking or calculations. It takes out the guesswork. Most users of the software rely on the program being accurate without the need for a follow-up. We have seen areas where tax calculated from the quoting tool and accounting software have differed, but in most cases, it's completely accurate.
