Nexus & sales tax
Hired remotely. Now you owe three states.
We map your nexus footprint, register you everywhere required, and keep every filing current — usually within 1–2 weeks.
- 50-State Mapping
- 1–2 Week Registration
- Ongoing Filings Handled
What this entails
One remote hire can trigger a filing obligation.
Payroll in a new state, a contractor who became an employee, a warehouse you forgot about — each creates nexus, the legal connection that obligates you to register, collect, and file. Most startups discover this via a penalty notice.
We analyze where your people, property, and sales create obligations, quantify any historical exposure, register you in every required jurisdiction, and run ongoing sales tax and withholding filings so notices stop arriving.

- Exposure & VDA analysisHistorical liability quantified; voluntary disclosure where it pays.

Questions
Nexus, answered.
We only have one employee in that state. Does it count?
Usually yes — a single W-2 employee creates income tax and withholding nexus in most states. That’s exactly how startups get surprised. We confirm state by state.
What about contractors?
True contractors generally don’t create payroll nexus, but misclassified ones do — plus back liability. We review your classifications as part of the study.
We sell SaaS. Is that taxable?
It depends on the state — SaaS is taxable in some, exempt in others, and the rules change yearly. We determine taxability per jurisdiction and configure collection correctly.
We already got a penalty notice. Can you fix it?
Yes. We triage notices within 24 hours, register you, and pursue penalty abatement where you qualify — first-time offenders often succeed.
