Key benefits of TaxJar

  • Seamless and Automatic Filing. TaxJar AutoFile automatically submits your returns to the states where you’re registered and ensures you never miss a due date.

  • Return-Ready, Jurisdiction-Level Reporting. TaxJar saves hours on sales tax filings by organizing sales data into easy-to-read, exportable, return-ready state reports.

  • Real-time Sales Tax Rates and Calculations. The TaxJar API instantly provides you with accurate sales tax rates at checkout. TaxJar also handles the nuances of product taxability and customer exemptions. AI-driven product classification evaluates all your products and intelligently suggests the right product tax code - so you don’t have to.

  • Economic Nexus Insights. Import your sales data into TaxJar to determine where your sales are approaching or have exceeded economic nexus threshold in each state. Recommended next steps provide guidance on how to begin complying with sales tax in any new state. Proactive notifications let you know when you’re approaching or reach the threshold, so you can stay in front of any changes to your nexus requirements.

  • Peak Season Traffic Management. TaxJar can handle and scale with any uptick in demand increase, such as seasonality or special deals.

  • Out-of-the-Box eCommerce Platform Integrations. Your business is multi-channel, so your tax engine should be too. In addition to our API, TaxJar offers integrations with NetSuite, Magento, Shopify, Walmart, Amazon, BigCommerce, Ecwid, WooCommerce, Squarespace, Square, Acumatica, SalesForce Commerce Cloud, QuickBooks Online, and Etsy. Additional third-party integrations are also available and certified by TaxJar’s development team.

  • Truly Exceptional Support. Our TaxJar experts are here to help troubleshoot and answer questions with support via phone and prioritized queues for email conversations.

  • Account Manager. Your TaxJar liaison will work with you to understand your specific and complex sales tax needs, and partner with you to go that extra mile when you need it.

  • Manage Multiple Users and Permissions. The ability to add or remove multi-user access and manage permission levels for each member of your team is built right into TaxJar. Simply click “invite new user” and you’re ready!

  • Right Rate, Every Time. ZIP code rates don’t provide the level of accuracy you need for accurate collection. With TaxJar Address Validation, you can rely on “rooftop-level” calculations to ensure that the exact address corresponds to the right rate.

  • Archived Returns. TaxJar stores returns so you can view and download a copy for your records or future audit. You can also do a CSV export of transactions that make up your reports and an XLS export of your sales tax report with breakdown by jurisdiction.

    I like this application because it is easy for our clients to make sales tax payments and to integrate accounting software, it is easy and convenient

    Pros

    I like this application because it is easy for our clients to make sales tax payments and to integrate accounting software, it is easy and convenient

    Cons

    It can be a bit expensive if you are a business with thousands of transactions per month. It may be more profitable to hire someone to do it for you at that time.

    Super-simple API integration to add tax handling to a web application

    Easy addition of tax handling to our web application.

    Easy addition of tax handling to our web application.

    Pros

    TaxJar was very easy for us to implement, didn't require hoops and red tape to get setup, and has been foolproof for us so far. The error messages (when our input is incorrect, for example) have been clean and easy to correct. It's a great comfort knowing we don't have to worry about the tax implications of transactions -- we just submit the data to TaxJar and they tell us how much to charge. Awesome!

    Cons

    The API does not yet have a way to automate creation of new accounts (if you are building a framework using TaxJar for multiple clients this does add the additional step of having to require the client to create their own account).

    Horrible!! Now I am looking for an alternative. If someone ever pays me a million dollars, I will never sign up with these guys.

    Pros

    I signed up with this company since the start of my business back in 2014. After signing up installation was pretty easy as all I had to do is install the plugin and few clicks it was all set. So, I never needed a human interaction. December 2018 I updated my software, since then this plugin isn't working. What that means is, this software did not collect a single tax from customer. I file my taxes quarterly. In January i logged in to get the report, that's when I discovered that tax jar is not collecting any taxes. Due to my busy schedule I couldn't contact them right away. Then when I finally did contact them by sending them an email, I did not get a response from these guys for over a month. Then I sent a follow up email beginning of this month. I am still waiting on the resolution. What is the issue you may ask? When I try to connect my store (magento 1), it gives an 301 redirects. They told me it has something to do with my server side. Hosting company saying they don't see anything wrong with my site or the server.

    They do not provide any phone service. So, all these communication is going on via email. Wanna hear the response time? First email sent on May 6th, didn't hear anything back from them until 2 days later. Sometimes I am going 2/3 without any response.

    Cons

    - No Phone Support
    - Email support takes 2/3 days to a week, sometimes no response
    - Basically no support

    I like all of it, got the 30 day free trial. It's great to use Taxjar if you're selling online, makes managing state sales taxes for shipments easy. State sales tax is a huge pain for most businesses just because taxes are so different across states, but Taxjar makes it simple.

    Pros

    It integrates with Walmart, Amazon, Shopify, and most other major online sellers, makes taxes for selling multichannel very easy. The integration is fast and sends data automatically.

    Cons

    They could always add more channels, but Taxjar has the big channels covered.
