Sales Tax Made Simple for Online and In‑Person Sellers

Written By RTL Productions

Basics:

  • You must collect in states where you have a physical location, resident staff, or high sales volume. Check with every state you are making sales in.

  • Rate lookup: Use state websites, never guess.

  • Filing: Most states let you e‑file; mark due dates in your calendar.

  • Common traps:

  • Ignoring marketplace facilitator rules (Amazon, Etsy may handle it for you).

  • Charging the wrong rate on shipping.


    Clarity Wayfinder Takeaway: Identify where you have nexus and confirm each state’s filing frequency—then update checkout settings today.
