Before you start reading
Three questions that decide which of these articles is worth your time.
Which guide should I read first?
Start with nexus. Until you know which states you have crossed a threshold in, registration, taxability and filing questions cannot be answered in any useful order.
How often are these articles updated?
We revisit an article whenever a state changes a rate, threshold or filing rule, or a vendor changes its pricing. Each card shows its publication date, so you can see how current it is before you rely on it.
Do I need software or a service?
Software calculates tax and leaves filing, registrations and notices with your team; a managed service takes the work over. The comparison cluster sets out both models across Avalara, TaxJar, Vertex, Numeral, Kintsugi and Galvix.
