If you are selling digital or physical products to people all across the states, you will owe taxes to those states. Being able to estimate on the fly and charging the consumer will be better for the bottom line of the business. Further the reports on what those numbers are at the end of the year are invaluable.

We did have some issues getting launched, but after that, it was pretty smooth sailing--after getting a few things worked out in the first few months. The only problem I really see is the lack of support. It can be a couple of days before you hear back from anyone, and there does not seem to be any phone support at this time.

TaxJar is well suited if you are just getting into sales tax nexus. They are a simple-to-use and easy-to-implement software that really takes the mundane tracking and data entry associated with sales tax away from an employee and onto an easy-to-use software platform. I would not suggest TaxJar if you have any plans to go global as they are only suited for the US.

If a company is selling on multiple websites and require information for the sales tax in various different states along with reminders of the due dates of those sales tax, we recommend that TaxJar be used. However, if a company is only selling on one site, it should be able to compile the information on their own

We didn't have any expertise on our team in collecting taxes. Nor did we have a full-time accountant on the team. We didn't have time to track all the changes in state sales tax laws so we looked to TaxJar to help and lean on their expertise so we could focus on our business.

Overall, I cannot see using another tool for sales tax reporting. TaxJar is cost-effective and accurate with a few small exceptions. As a seller, the customer service I cannot speak to, but I think the accountant customer service leaves something to be desired.

TaxJar is absolutely necessary to keep your books up-to-date and your tax liabilities properly categorized and managed. If you're running a large national operation, it's necessary. If you're regional or not doing much in sales, you could probably get away without it. However it's so affordable that it may even make sense for those who don't necessarily need sales tax tracking now but plan on growing into that need, just to avoid the headache of rushing to set it up when you actually do need it.

Even with a few minor issues, TaxJar is still a great service that makes calculating sales tax from your marketplace sales MUCH easier than having to do it manually. For Amazon, it's a no brainer. There are a lot of other marketplace integrations that may work just as well, or less so, but I can't speak to those yet as I am not using them currently.

TaxJar helps me take 10,000 orders and pulls information like zip codes so that I can figure out exactly how much tax is owed in each individual municipality. It centralizes policy, and knows if I have a nexus in each state and how much I owe in each locality. It knows things like if shipping and gift wrapping are taxable in states. I can't imagine running my small business without it.

If you aren't a tax professional, this is a must. Trying to manually calculate which county/city/state sales tax is owed will break your brain. Actually, even if you were a tax professional, why would you want to manually do it when you could just have a tool like this to calculate it for you. I wish it was also affordable to have it file for you and there are some crunchy bits, but its pros definitely outweigh the cons.

All or most of small to mid-size e-Commerce business owners should be utilizing TaxJar. Its automation and reports are the only way to help our businesses remain compliant as the laws are constantly changing. Specifically, with the big change in 2018 most of us will not be able to remain in business and compliant without an automated system.

TaxJar works great for API eCommerce tax calculations both at checkout and for estimating. It also works great integrated with an ERP to ensure that the right tax is being charged based on a geolocated address match. As long as a robust integration has already been built for your software this option is excellent. If you have to build it yourself the time/value will not be quite as clear.
