Why Quickbooks Online Is The Best Choice For Sales Tax - 0:58
There are 45 states and the District of Columbia that require businesses to collect sales tax. If you sell goods (and certain services) in one of these states you are responsible for calculating, collecting, and paying sales tax. Each state has its own set of laws and rates for sales tax. On top of state requirements, counties, cities, and districts may have their own sales tax requirements.
When it comes to sales tax, there are several types of nexus, but the most common are:
Physical nexus – To have a physical nexus with a state is to have a sufficient physical presence in that state. The physical nexus obligation exists in all states. Physical nexus can be created by:
An office
An employee or sales people
Providing services
An independent contractor that provides services to your customers
A warehouse
An office

Providing services

A warehouse
Economic nexus – To have economic nexus in a state is to have made a certain amount of sales or a certain number of transactions into that state. Economic nexus obligations already exist in multiple states with additional states enacting economic nexus rules in light of the 2018 Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair.
Bottom line is that if you have nexus in a state (physical or economic nexus) you have an obligation to collect and remit sales tax for taxable sales within the state.
I'm an online seller, how do I collect sales tax for customers that I ship to out of a state?
In the past online sellers typically would not need to collect sales tax for out of state sales if they did not have a physical presence in the state. Recent tax laws have changed this and now sellers are responsible for collecting sales tax on shipped items if they have an economic nexus with a state. Online sales tax varies from state to state and is dependent upon if you have nexus with that state.
