Walmart’s Marketplace is a win-win for consumers and merchants. It allows Walmart to offer more items than ever at affordable prices, while allowing online sellers to provide their products to a larger audience.
Until Walmart’s partnership with TaxJar, 3rd party sellers on the Walmart Marketplace platform had no simple way to quickly and easily report and file sales tax to states. We heard you – you were forced to manipulate .CSV files or create Excel spreadsheets. That’s painful and time consuming.
With TaxJar’s Walmart integration, you can put sales tax headaches in the past.

6. When you’ve filled in all of the required info, click “Save & Continue.”

File your Walmart sales tax returns the easy way
Walmart Marketplace collects sales tax from buyers on behalf of 3rd party sellers, but after that it’s up to you to remit that sales tax back to the state.
That’s where TaxJar has your back.
