Sales Tax Consulting & Support
If your company has qualifying nexus in a state, it’s up to you to understand your sales tax obligations and collect correctly.
Economic nexus provisions vary on a state-by-state basis. Nexus refers to the perceived presence of a business by any state or local taxing authority. Each state has its own set of complex rules that determine if a nexus threshold has been met. Companies who establish nexus are then responsible to determine if they are liable to collect and remit sales and use tax on the products or services that they sell.
Our sales tax experts can ensure you are collecting appropriate sale taxes, pinpoint opportunities for savings, reduce audit exposure, and get back sales taxes you should not have paid.
Integrated Bookkeeping, Accounting & Tax Services
For SmartBooks Bookkeeping & Accounting clients, tax planning and preparation are even smoother. Your SmartBooks tax advisor will be in close contact with your bookkeeping and accounting team throughout the year to make sure your tax planning is working off a rock-solid foundation. You won’t ever have to pay additional tax preparation fees for your books to get cleaned up, and your books won’t get cluttered with adjusting journal entries made by your tax preparer. And you’ll never be caught in the middle between your bookkeeper and your tax preparer.

More often than not, tax preparers use extensions as a way to balance their workload away from the peak demand of tax deadlines and not because you actually need one.
At SmartBooks, our tax services are built around your needs, not ours, and our operational structure is designed for efficiency. And so our promise to you is that, if you use SmartBooks for your bookkeeping and accounting and your tax planning and preparation, we’ll never put you on extension unless you really need one.
