After years of grappling with complex and ever-changing Nexus remote seller tax issues, one thing is clear: the real solution is tax standardization across states. This will only happen with a united effort—it's time for the e-commerce community to rally behind a strong lobbying presence in Washington, D.C. Is anyone else ready to get behind this?

It is mandatory to reconciliate your monthly sales by state in your accounting software against sales indicated by Avalara. Even small differences can trigger a state audit. The cost of the audit interest and penalties will probably be minimal compared to the amount of time you and your staff will spend completing and submitting amendments.

If you have a nexus in Louisiana and us Avalara for sales tax compliance I recommend you check your Avalara settings and make sure you are collecting and distributing funds not only to the state but also to parish and jurisdictions. This is been required since 2022 but as far as we can tell, Avalara made no effort to inform us of this change.

Anyone have experience with Vertex tax compliant software? We've been with Avalara for 2 years but now it appears Vertex may have been a better choice for sales tax compliance. Anyone have any experience with Vertex?

IF AVALARA REQUIRES A KEYCODE CHANGE, your transaction reporting from e-commerce to Avalara may default to off. This means you will continue to collect sales tax but it won't be reported to Avalara and your returns will be too low. In essence, you will be collecting tax and not paying to the state. If this happens to you, amendments will have to be filed which is a costly procedure followed by penalties and interest from the state. Check your transactions often!

Tip # 1 – if you reset your Avalara key be sure to check that your transaction reports are migrating to Avalara. If they don't migrate you will continue to collect sales tax but it will not show up in your tax reporting. The interest and fines will set you back significantly.
