Selling All Over

» From: Kerrville, TX

Dear TaxMama:

Where can I get information on state sales taxes. I am starting an online business where I sell products that are delivered by various drop shippers.

None of the drop shipper has given me any information about the various state sales taxes.

Assuming everything goes well, I would need the information for all 50 states.

Thanks,

Albert


Hi Albert,

There's some overall information here about the sales tax issue on TaxMama's December 29th article on CBS MarketWatch.com, "The state of taxes States' search for revenue means tax surprises next year"

But for in depth information about sales taxes, state by state, you need to go to to the Vertex website. They publish material for the national sales tax industry.

For more general tax resources, check out the links on TaxMama's Resources page as a starting point.

In general, though, if you're shipping to a state, that's where you pay the taxes, not in the state of purchase.

Incidentally, in the left-hand column of the IRS NEWS page at TaxMama.com, you will find links to all the state tax agencies, in addition to all IRS forms and publications.

Click and ye shall find.

Best wishes,

Eva Rosenberg
Your TaxMama
