Excellent video...thank you for posting. I am trying to wrap my head around this so I would like to summarize my understanding with a question. I plan to sell a book (quantity 900) from my garage in southern California. Profits will not break $15,000. I understand that Shopify Tax will calculate sales, generate reports, and inform me when taxes need to be paid per state based on economic Nexus. I also understand that tax filing requirement is different state by state. With an established LLC, when will I know to file taxes? Does the Shopify Tax program inform me?

It should, but it would also be wise for you to be watching it yourself. I also encourage you to download our fee sales tax guide. Besides having the 10 steps you need to follow to be sales tax compliant, it also has a chart with all of the state economic thresholds. It's a very valuable resource! ledgergurus.com/portfolio/10-steps-to-ensure-sales-tax-doesnt-burn-down-your-ecommerce-business/?

Thanks, but in that 199 transaction that i may sales in to a state, Do I have the right to tax the products since i need 201 transaction to remit tax to the state, thanks
@LedgerGurus3 күн бұрын
No. Unless you have registered with the state (which you don't need to do until you've reached the nexus threshold). it is illegal to collect sales tax. If you see that you're getting close to hitting the thresholds, the state will usually give you some leeway to register before you have to start collecting. The state-by-state threshold chart at the end of our 10 Steps of Sales Tax guide will tell you what kind of timeframe you have before you have to start collecting. ledgergurus.com/portfolio/10-steps-to-ensure-sales-tax-doesnt-burn-down-your-ecommerce-business/?

Hi! Thanks for all the info. I was wondering if you have any experience with Tax Rex for filing? I am a very small business starting up. It seems to have very good reviews in the shopify app store, but I can't find any info on it anywhere else. Is it reputable, pros/cons, and would you recommend it? Does it have the same issue that Tax Jar has such as remitting less than you collected? Thank you!
@kerryscott49558 күн бұрын
This video is amazing, thank you so much! I do have a question, you said that it can be easier if the seller and the drop-shipper are located in the same state- why is that? Isn't it all based around where the product is shipping to? So, if the seller and the drop-shipper were both located in CA, but the product is shipping to UT, you would need a valid UT resale cert, and it doesn't really matter that the seller and drop-shipper are located in the same state?
@LedgerGurus7 күн бұрын
That's true. What she meant is that if both the seller and drop-shipper are in the same state, they have nexus in the same state, and so the seller is responsible for collecting the sales tax.

Ok, so I am starting up a new Shopify store, using a 3rd party to create and ship the products for me; within the USA. I don’t charge any sales taxes until after I reach 200 sales or $100,000 or whichever comes first. However I must still register and file with my city and federal government, that I have a new business for a sales tax license. (According to their websites). Do I have this information correct? My luck will be that I’m only allowed to make 2 or 3 sales a year, because failure is important to have on purpose. 🤷♂️ Do you still respond to comments with this video? 🤔

If you are purchasing product that you are THEN selling to your customer, yes. But if you are dropshipping (which generally means that the customer orders from you -> you order from your dropshipper -> the dropshipper invoices you and sends the product to your customer), then it will only apply for CO customers. And no, you don't have nexus in NY because you don't own the product there; your dropshipper does.

I recently launched my shopify store. With Etsy everything was very seamless but now if customer orders something through shopify website, according to economic NEXUS they will only be charged if they are in New york ( since I just launched my store) but if someone from CA buys something they wont be charged sales tax , what will printify charge me? Also, Etsy charges sales tax everywhere and doesn't care for the NEXUS? Sorry this is a loaded question but I could use some help here.
