Product State sales tax registrations

Streamlined sales tax registration

Before you can collect sales tax from customers, you must first register for a sales tax permit with the state. However, this process can be cumbersome and time consuming. TaxJar can manage this registration process for customers on a paid plan, giving you more time to focus on your growing business.


Don’t let sales tax registrations slow you down

As your company grows, your sales tax obligations grow too. Once you reach a nexus threshold in a state, you are required to register for a sales tax permit and begin collecting sales tax from customers in that state.

Since each state has their own registration process, taking the time to ensure each form is filled out correctly is a challenge. On top of that, as soon as you reach nexus in a state, you are expected to begin collecting sales tax right away, so it’s important to complete the registration process quickly.

TaxJar can register in states where you have met nexus and need to collect sales tax from customers, keeping you compliant as you grow.

TaxJar’s sales tax registration service

For $299 per state, TaxJar will register in states where you have met nexus thresholds and need to collect sales tax from customers.

We recognize that companies can meet a sales tax obligation through various methods, whether they are based in the US or abroad. For international companies looking to register, we can assist as long as they have a US-based bank account and either a Social Security Number (SSN) or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).

We can help with registrations when meeting nexus thresholds due to third-party inventory storage (Amazon FBA), but cannot register for any nexus scenarios involving other types of inventory storage or for nexus caused by employees located in a state.

Only current TaxJar users on a paid plan are eligible for registration support at this time. If you are not yet a TaxJar user, sign up for a free trial, select a plan, and enter in your billing details. More information on the various plan types here.

How it works



Step one

To get started, fill out this registration form within the TaxJar app. You can use this form for all of your state registrations. Here’s the information you’ll need to complete the registration form:

  • Prior year total sales
  • Ownership information (most states require at least 80% of the ownership breakdown)
  • Registration start date (date you reached nexus)
  • Business details (address, Federal Employee Identification Number (FEIN), business name)

Step two

Once you have completed the registration form, our team will reach out via email to confirm we have received your request. Then, we’ll submit your registration to the state(s) within 30 days.

Step three

After we submit your registration, the state will send you an email or letter confirming your registration is complete. Some states charge a registration fee and the fee will be handled during the registration process using the banking information you provided. Confirmation letters can be sent either by email or postal mail, depending on the state. If sent by postal mail, it could arrive within two to three weeks.
