Our 4-Step Sales Tax Filing Process

We analyze your sales patterns, business activities, and existing registrations to determine where you have filing obligations.
Filing Plan & Workflow
We establish your filing calendar, set up a recurring workflow, and scope any catch-up work needed for past-due periods.
Preparation & Reconciliation
Each period, we calculate your sales tax liability by jurisdiction, reconcile to your books, and prepare returns for filing.
Filing & Documentation
We file your returns electronically, remit payments, and maintain documentation for your records.
If Your Books Aren't Clean, We Handle That First
Sales tax filings need to tie back to your accounting records. If your books aren't categorized correctly or sales aren't tracked by jurisdiction, we can't file accurate returns.
We get your books tax-ready first. Only then does the filing timeline start.
This prevents amended returns, reconciliation headaches, and year-end surprises when your income tax returns don't match your sales tax filings.

FAQs About Sales Tax Filing & Returns
How often do I need to file sales tax returns?
Filing frequency depends on your sales volume and state requirements. Virginia typically assigns monthly, quarterly, or annual filing periods based on your tax liability. Some states change your frequency as your business grows. We track your deadlines across all jurisdictions so you never miss a filing.
Do I need to collect sales tax on online sales?
Following the 2018 Wayfair decision, you may have sales tax obligations in states where you have significant sales—even without physical presence. Each state sets its own economic nexus thresholds (often $100K in sales or 200 transactions). We analyze your sales patterns to determine exactly where you need to register and file.
What if I'm behind on sales tax filings?
We help businesses catch up on past-due returns all the time. We scope the backlog, prepare all outstanding returns, and work with state agencies on penalty abatement when possible. Getting current is the first step—staying current is what we help you do after.
What records do I need to keep for sales tax?
You should maintain sales reports by jurisdiction, exemption certificates from tax-exempt customers, invoices, and documentation of tax collected. We help you establish a workflow that makes these records easy to maintain and retrieve.
What happens if I collected sales tax but didn't remit it?
Unremitted sales tax is a serious liability—states consider that money trust funds you owe. We help you assess the exposure, file the outstanding returns, and work toward resolving any penalties. The longer you wait, the worse it gets.
Do you handle sales tax audits?
Yes. If you receive a sales tax audit notice, we help you respond, gather documentation, and represent your position. Our goal is to minimize your exposure and resolve the audit as quickly as possible.
How do you coordinate sales tax with my bookkeeping?
Sales tax filings need to tie back to your books. We reconcile your sales tax returns to your accounting records each period, so there are no surprises at year-end and your income tax returns match your sales tax filings.
