We run your free nexus review. You find out exactly which states you have obligations in and what needs to happen.
We handle all state registrations, set up your filing calendar, and connect your sales data. From this point we own every return.
Returns prepared, filed, and remitted on schedule. Every filing confirmed in your dashboard. Notices handled if they arrive.
By the number of states where you have active nexus and need to file. One flat monthly fee covers every return, every frequency, in all your states within that band.
Any state where you have economic or physical nexus and are required to file a sales tax return. We confirm your exact state count on your free nexus review call.
No. Your flat monthly fee covers every return in every state — whether you file monthly, quarterly, or annually. No per-return charges, ever.
When you cross into a new band, your plan upgrades. We register you in the new state (registration fee applies). We'll flag this before you cross any threshold.
If your business has years of unfiled returns and back-tax exposure, a VDA lets you come forward voluntarily in exchange for reduced or eliminated penalties. It's a separate add-on — $2,499 per state.
No. Notice response and documentation support are included in all plans. Formal audit representation — attending the audit, negotiating with the state — requires a separate engagement.
A nexus analysis reviews your sales history against all 50 states to confirm exactly where you have obligations. If you're not sure which states you need to file in, start here. It's a one-time $499 project.
Most clients are fully registered and filing within 2–3 weeks of signup. State processing times vary — we'll give you a specific timeline during onboarding.
