(Original )Information
What do you like best about TaxJar?

What’s most helpful about TaxJar and what I love is that it took a whole world of confusing taxes and licenses for states that I had nexus in, and laid out exactly what I needed to do and what to put into Amazon, including if shipping and gift wrap was taxable, as well as explaining clearly what Origin vs. Destination was. Another upside is that it gave me the option to file manually or use their services, and that they pulled all of my data—QUICKLY! to tell me where to get licensed and the depth they go into with sales down to the gradual level (helps me figure out localized taxes when you know exactly to what city and state your stuff shipped). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TaxJar?

Only downside about Taxjar is that the Autofile costs $100 per state, I did like the free Autofile offer, but...it’s more for people with larger-scale businesses. If TaxJar is reporting lower revenues there should be an Autofile plan that makes more sense and scales based on the volume of people’s sales. Another thing I’d say is the least helpful about TaxJar is the fact that counties are not shown for individual sales all the time, so I have to Google what county a certain city is in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TaxJar:

Seriously consider this for any electronic business. You can even use it for local business, if you do manual entries. What I’d recommend is to get your licenses and accounts set up as quickly as possible no matter what volume you anticipate, because sometimes you’ll have to file back taxes and some states will charge huge penalties for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TaxJar solving and how is that benefiting you?

The major problem I’m solving is figuring out what sales are taxable and what are not. Taxjar knows exactly what is exempt and what isn’t, therefore allowing me not only to not overcharge customer unnecessarily, but also to make sure that I don’t pay more than I actually collected. It’s also very helpful in calculating the state discount for filing on time, although it does not always relate this information in its calculation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of requesting reports for sales tax across our marketplaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not Tax Jar's fault - but we dislike that some of our marketplaces don't have more than a 90 day history of reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TaxJar solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are short on time and don't have an accounting department. Tax Jar helps be that department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about TaxJar?

Taxjar is very helpful when dealing with multiple state taxing authorities. Calculations and returns are performed seamlessly behind the scenes, allowing us to concentrate on our business. The landing page dashboard displays a very informative snapshot of return status, amounts due, and payment schedules. S Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TaxJar?

Filing in multiple states becomes expensive. We have experienced some calculation errors and incurred penalties. Support is not great, and response times to questions are typically longer than we would like, especially regarding Nexus determinations, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TaxJar solving and how is that benefiting you?

Filing in multiple states is time-consuming and requires extensive tax knowledge, which we do not have internally. Using Taxjar allows us to focus on expanding our business and not having to deal with technical issues which require extensive research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about TaxJar?

The API is simple and accurate. We don't have any issues. Also the automatic tiered billing is something you typically don't see. If you happen to go over your allotment, it bumps you up to the next tier automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TaxJar?

No dislikes. Everything works just like we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TaxJar solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the past we've had issues keeping track of different tax rates for different jurisdictions within the states we have nexus. Taxjar takes the guesswork out and lets us focus on other things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides me with the needed reports to file all the sales tax returns in a timely manner. The cost is very competitive, and the integration is relatively easy. It saves so much time. I'd say it's a perfect solution for us. Once you are set up, you are good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I have had no problems with the software. I can't find anything that I dislike. I don't think there are many downsides. Having to collect and remit sales tax can be a challenge for a beginning business owner, but this software takes some of the pressure off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
