Great product, with a little room for improvement.
It provides me with the needed reports to file all the sales tax returns for 60+ clients in a timely manner. Without it, the hours spent on using spreadsheets would be cost-prohibitive. My staff can handle more clients effectively and accurately by using this one tool.
- 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.
- I have been able to handle more clients with less staff.
- A California return takes 15-30 minutes for $500,000 in sales where it would take several hours if done by spread sheet.

TaxJar is necessary for any business with nexus in multiple states
TaxJar is being used to more thoroughly track, manage and pay sales tax via our e-commerce website as well as invoices generated via Xero. The sales tax landscape has been notoriously difficult to navigate recently with all the legislative changes and pending changes, and TaxJar gives us a bit more (but not complete) peace of mind that everything is up-to-speed.
- 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.
- It saves us so many man-hours.
- It reduces the chance of manual error.
- It's an extra expense that is only necessary due to burdensome regulations. But it does make our lives easier.
TaxJar is SO much cheaper than Avalara and SO much easier to use. Not even close - TaxJar is better. The only reason I would choose Avalara is if it had better native integrations with whatever software stack my business ran on. For our business, TaxJar made so much more sense in terms of price and usability.
