U.S. Sales Tax Nexus Screening Tool

Sales-tax exposure cannot be determined from the formation state alone. Employees, offices, inventory, events, and remote sales may require review, while marketplace collection may not eliminate registration, zero-return, or direct-sales obligations.

Select your channels and physical-presence facts to receive a review priority and state-data checklist. Current state thresholds and taxability rules must still be confirmed from official sources.

FAQ

Do I still need a review if a marketplace collects tax?

Yes. Separate marketplace activity, direct sales, physical presence, and registered accounts. Existing permits may carry ongoing or zero-return duties.

Will the tool tell me exactly where to register?

No. It identifies review priorities. Threshold periods, taxability, local rules, and state-specific exceptions require current state guidance.

Is my formation state automatically my sales-tax state?

Not necessarily. Sales-tax exposure generally depends more on operating, employee, inventory, delivery, and in-state sales facts.
