Overall Satisfaction with Avalara
We use Avalara returns and AvaTax to handle all of our sales and use tax compliance. Avalara does all of our sales tax returns, helps identify new areas where we may be subject to tax and helps us register with new taxing authorities. We use their AvaTax integrations with our accounting system and with our eCommerce platform. Sales tax compliance is a huge headache and we could not do it without Avalara.
- Files returns accurately.
- Calculates tax accurately.
- Stays on top of all changes in sales tax rates.
- Responds quickly to support cases.
- Highlights new areas where we may be subject to tax.
- AvaTax integrations with outside software could be improved. Mainly insight into how the integration is built and how Avalara's team communicates with Partners.
- I would need two full time staff to do sales tax compliance if I did not have Avalara.

The integration was very easy.
However, making changes, updates or getting new features is not easy. I am currently working through this issue. Now. Avalara has been great to work with on their side. However, it takes both parties to come to the table to get resolution with an API based app integration.

- Avalara Returns
As mentioned before, I would need multiple staff to handle all the return filings that Avalara does on our behalf. I would never consider using AvaTax with out Avalara returns.
