TaxJar

Pros: Everyone who deals with sales tax, nexus, etc at a business knows it can be a bear to deal with. TaxJar solves that and removes some of that stress and burden.

Cons: It's integrations are getting better but a few more direct integration and it will be perfect for us.

Pros: Tax Jar helps me take 10,000 orders and pulls information like zipcodes so that I can figure out exactly how much tax is owed in each individual municipality. It centralizes policy, and knows if I have a nexus in each state and how much I owe in each locality. It knows things like if shipping and giftwrapping are taxable in states. I can't imagine running my small business without it.

Cons: The interface stinks - I frequently have to have 6 or 7 tabs open at once just to fill out one state's tax return. But, I'll take function over fashion on this one.

Pros: I am so happy to have found this app! It integrates with our Squarespace website and saves hours of time and confusion to automate the sales tax payments to our state. Highly recommend it!

Cons: I only wish that they could make it more clear as to exactly what sales tax to be collecting from our customers. Their SmartCalcs portion of the app seems great, but have yet to figure out how to integrate that with our Squarespace site.

Pros: Very easy to use software, and amazing customer support. I have only needed support a few times, but every time it is so easy to get ahold of them and they resolve issues very quickly.

Cons: I really like everything about Taxjar in the last year I have been using them. I would highly recommend.

Overall: Sales tax is challenging, even our tax firm recommended we find a specialist for sales tax. They recommended Taxjar and I have been amazed how easy they are to work with.

Pros: Ease of use, easy to login and check status also the filing is really easy and is taking the stress off paying taxes

Cons: Confusing ways to auto file. Not clear on ways to file. Need more training videos. Some graphics aren't clear whether we are files or not. Otherwise s great program.

Pros: I can have all my states in one place and see all the statuses. I love that customer service is quick to respond and helpful to people who know nothing about state taxes such as myself.

Cons: It is difficult to navigate when you don't know much about taxes. Specifically when I try to autofile and don't owe any taxes, I have to create mock files. This is almost impossible to figure out on the platform without customer support being involved to explain.

Pros: Easy to setup
Automatic Tax fillings - less headache for me
Connects to our eCommerce platform
Great support

Cons: While we haven't got to the next pricing tier - this could get a bit pricey, depending on your monthly transactions

Pros: They are making calculating sales simple and efficient for my website - whereas this could be a nightmare to do manually and not a good use of my time. Their customer service has been outstanding.

Cons: I've had no issues to date with the software - we launched in August and I have had not had any challenges to report.

Pros: For the amount of data that is available, the layout doesn't feel overwhelming. There are helpful tip icons for certain items that make the software easier to learn.

Cons: I think the cost for autofiling is a bit high, especially in the states which I file monthly. Perhaps a tiered pricing model?

Pros: Time saver, We have full confidence and trust this product, Can have reports that shows how much we pay to each state and we can plan our cash flow based on the calculation in advance.

Cons: I don't have anything to say on this one, since we start using it we notice the value in it.
MAybe the can be integrated with a accounting software and will be a lot better.

Overall: time, accuracy, projected cash flow of my business

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.

Overall: 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 how easy TaxJar makes it for our clients to make sales tax payments and that they have interegrations to accounting software like Xero.

Cons: Even though I like that they have made an integration for Xero, I think that the integration could be cleaned up to avoid duplicate transactions.

Pros: I refer this software to my clients that pay sales tax in multiple states. It helps them calculate and remit their sales tax in a timely and accurate manner. I have multiple clients that use this software for sales tax and lodging tax and they love it!

Cons: Can become a bit pricey if you are a business with thousands of transactions per month. It may be more cost effective to hire someone to do it for you at that point.

Pros: It handled all aspects of our sales tax needs. We used it to manage real-time calculations so we collected the correct amounts. Then we used the TaxJar service that also files the taxes with each state. When we did have questions, they had answers. This allowed us to focus on the more important aspects of our business.

Overall: Taxes can be complicated and we did have some questions along the way. TaxJar always got back to us.

Pros: The best thing about TaxJar is the ability to connect it to my Amazon store and it monitors all of the sales tax that needs to be submitted and filed. I also use the added service of letting TaxJar actually submit my tax return. Saves me time and frees me to do things that will help me grow my business.

Cons: I rarely even visit my TaxJar account because it is automated and there's really nothing for me to do. I do check in once in a while to make sure it's tracking everything correctly. There is no real con for me so far.

Overall: Worry free tax filing and tracking.

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).

Overall: Easy addition of tax handling to our web application.

Pros: This software took care of all of my bookkeeping worries. It integrates seamlessly with Shopify. You pretty much just set up all of your details at the beginning and let TaxJar do the dirty work.

Cons: I recently switched to Wix.com as my ecommerce platform. I was disappointed to find that there was no TaxJar app to pair seamlessly with my site like when I was with Shopify. I'm hoping that they change that one day.

Overall: I would recommend this product to anyone using Shopify as their ecommerce platform but not if they are using Wix.com

Pros: Easy to use, self-explanatory, and concise. The cost is easy to swallow for comfort and peace of mind.

Pros: extremely easy to implement, use and service levels are outstanding. The product is extremely accurate - love the the automated state filings which saves tremendous time critical for a small organization.

Pros: This was the easiest plug in that our IT has integrated with our Magento Website. I love that it can collect and auto-file in every state. Customer support always answers our questions quickly and accurately. The interface is user friendly.

Cons: The updates this year have solved any lacking areas we saw when we first started using Tax Jar. There are a couple of times Tax Jar has charged tax when it should have not, but the percent this has happened is less than 0.001% and the number of transactions we have seen this on has decreased each month.

Overall: It saves us so much time by filing returns or manually tracking sales tax rates. Their website also has so much beneficial information on sales tax issues.

Pros: It's easy to get set up and easy to use. The auto file feature is awesome for the headache States. They also offer a lot of helpful info on their blog.

Cons: I wish it had better instructions on how to navigate the states websites. They are all a maze and every one is different, making it really challenging just to register to pay them sales tax.

Pros: Saves me days of time by automating everything that has to do with sales tax. Customer support is fast and friendly.

Cons: I would love to see more educational tips and suggestions around the individual states and difficulty levels around filing manually. There are some states where it is almost impossible to do it yourself.

Overall: Extreme time savings. Could not conduct sales tax without this software.

Pros: Best support to handle sales taxes with omni channel business. Our omni channel sale tax collection is on auto pilot. It integrates flawlessly with amazon and Shopify and we haven't had any issue at all. TaxJar just does the job.

Overall: I peace of mind! All I can say.

Pros: Easy to setup. Easy to use. Straight forward pricing plans. The signup process is simple and fast. Ready connections to popular shopping carts, CMS and accounting systems. Automated tax filing available.

Cons: The automated filing is great but I think it will have to be based on volume and not flat fee. When there are no transactions to report to any nexus state it seems a little bit costly.

Pros: TaxJar has an ease of use that once you are set up, you are good to go. They make registering for states you have nexus in a breeze. I started with my home state of CA and worked with it for over a year before becoming compliant with other states that I had nexus in for Amazon FBA. As an eCommerce seller I was able to easily link to my eBay and PayPal accounts. They pull in the info needed and on a monthly basis I can see which states I have to make payment to. I easily log into the states websites and submit everything online. Such a time saver I can't even tell you. They give you step by step instructions for everything having to so with EACH and every state in the USA. Simply the best! As a solopreneur, I am my own book-keeper and accountant. I have all the info in TaxJar to make my business run regarding sales tax.

Cons: While I haven't yet used autopay, where they would do my filing, I hesitate because my sales are not great. I wish the fee was based on how much or how little one sold. I would use in a New York minute if that were the case.

Overall: One of my lifeline go to products to run my eCommerce Internet sales business. It pulls in info from Amazon, eBay and PayPal to calculate which states I owe sales tax too. I was a life saver when I went compliant regarding my FBA sales tax. Thanks TaxJar!

Pros: It streamlines tax collection and puts all the information in one place, which makes it really easy for me to collect sales tax accurately in my new, small business. It helps me stay in compliance, which I was previously struggling to keep up with.

Cons: It is without a doubt overpriced. All it does is put readily available information in one place. So it saves time, but it's not really providing anything grand and exclusive. If I had to do it once a year, I'd do it without TaxJar - but since I have to do it every 30 days, it helps to have the data in one place in spite of the cost.
