Solid foundation, lots of potential
- estimate taxes via zip code
- estimate taxes via full address
- generate reports of taxes owed to states
- straight forward API
- stripe integration needs improvement
- taxes are based off of USPS data rather than IRS data
August 10, 2021
Rocky start, but good product
- Calculates tax for our BigCommerce store
- Files tax returns for states we have nexus in
- Shows taxes handled by marketplace facilitators
- Support is lacking. Needs to be more easily accessible.
August 10, 2021
TaxJar does exactly what you need at a great price
- Files monthly and quarterly sales tax filing
- Alerts us well in advance of potential nexus states
- Makes it super easy to implement a new brand or subsidiary
- International compliance would be amazing, at least the rest of North America
- A bit more intuitive report features, like drill downs

TaxJar saves me a day of work for each return (at least!)
- automatically calculate what's needed for sales tax returns
- automatically completes sales tax returns
- automatically files sales tax returns
- It would be nice if we could upload our manual sales tax returns, so everything is organized in one place.
August 09, 2021
Your accounting department will thank you!
- Consolidates sales tax
- Gives reminders when sales tax are due for each state
- Easily download the information to an Excel file
- Perhaps creating a mobile application.
- Making it easier to search through previous years of sales tax
August 09, 2021
Amazing Time Savings for the Price
- Knowing the sales tax laws for each state
- Calculating sales tax on a transaction at checkout
- Recording history of sales tax
- Filing sales tax data with the state on your behalf
- Setting up auto-filing was a bit confusing and could be streamlined
November 12, 2019
Great product, with a little room for improvement.
- The CSV upload for clients that do not have or want to connect directly is very good. It allows us to get a lot of the information done quickly.
- The cost is very competitive.
- According to our clients, the integration is relatively easy.
- For the most part, the reports are accurate.
- Customer service for accountants is not phone supported. Even with the number of clients I have on the platform, I have to wait for email customer support.
- Some of the states' new reports need improvement. What the state is asking for is not being provided in NV and TN for out-of-state sellers.

TaxJar is necessary for any business with nexus in multiple states
- It's getting much better at native integrations, particularly with our website which runs on BigCommerce.
- It does a great job of clearly displaying our sales tax liabilities.
- It absolutely crushes the competition in terms of price as well as ease-of-use.
- Continually increase its native integration features with BigCommerce, which recently just opened up more Checkout APIs and Sales Tax APIs.
- The Amazon integration is confusing only because Amazon (sometimes?) calculates and collects sales tax on your behalf. It's not clear what's best-- to let Amazon do it for you or for TaxJar to handle it.
- Onboarding could be a bit easier and guided.

TaxJar is pretty darn good at it what it does
- Even though it was 4 years ago, I remember the integration process with Amazon being incredibly simple. TaxJar provided instructions on exactly what to do in order to make sure they were receiving the correct data. Even someone with zero IT or technical skills can follow the instruction and get it working. And it has worked pretty perfectly ever since.
- TaxJar does a great job of having a dashboard that makes it simple to see your gross sales, your taxed sales and what you owe in each state. If there's a new state where you haven't filed, TaxJar has an excellent guide on how and where to register for that state.
- TaxJar offers Auto-filing so that if all of your marketplace sales are tracked via TaxJar, then you don't even need to take care of filing your sales tax. They'll do it for you. I personally don't use it, but it's great that they offer it.
- One thing is that I do sell on another platform that integrates with TaxJar, but I have products that are exempt from sales tax in some states. With the other integration, there's no way to show those products as exempt. It seems that TaxJar doesn't see those exemptions for some reason.
- Support is only via email, unless you upgrade your plan to TaxJar Plus. During filing season that can be really stressful if you need answers quickly.
- It would be great if TaxJar could notify me if I have nexus in a new state, so I don't have to check on my own. Right now it has to be checked manually.

TaxJar!
- This was the easiest plug-in that our IT has integrated with our Magento Website. I love that it can collect and auto-file in every state. Customer support always answers our questions quickly and accurately. The interface is user-friendly.
- TaxJar is a fully featured taxation product for our e-commerce business. I'm amazed that something so fully featured is available at such a low price. It integrates with our e-commerce plugin WooCommerce.
- Best support to handle sales taxes with omni channel business. Our omni channel sale tax collection is on autopilot. It integrates flawlessly with amazon and Shopify and we haven't had any issue at all. TaxJar just does the job.
- The updates this year have solved any lacking areas we saw when we first started using Tax Jar. There are a couple of times Tax Jar has charged tax when it should have not, but the percent this has happened is less than 0.001% and the number of transactions we have seen this on has decreased each month.
- The service at the low price point is very poor. It feels like they do this intentionally to get you to upgrade.
- It is difficult to navigate when you don't know much about taxes. Specifically when I try to autofile and don't owe any taxes, I have to create mock files. This is almost impossible to figure out on the platform without customer support being involved to explain.

TaxJar saves you from the headache of calculating state sales tax
- Works seamlessly with Amazon and Etsy to calculate state sales tax owed
- State sales tax reports are easy to read and understand
- Allows recording of filing history
- Users can edit and manage of individual states
- Many states have different requirements: I wish each state account had more options for notes and other ways to document what is going on with each state. For instance, to be able to track the online account login information, add notes about communication with the state, fees outside of sales tax that have been paid or due, etc.
- I'd love to take advantage of the AutoFile but at $25 per state, and having to file in 31 states , 14 of which I have to file monthly, AutoFile just isn't economical.
- This is really picky but: previous period sales tax is always paid in the next period. However, the default when you look at any report or when you go to record the filing history is the current period. The default should always be the most recent period, since that's the period you're looking at 95% of the time.
