Multi-State Sales Tax Filing for Small Business Tax Preparers with QuickBooks Online
Run multi-state sales tax filing on autopilot inside QuickBooks Online.
The Problem
Tracking nexus across 30+ states for Small Business Tax clients and filing the right return on the right cadence is a full-time job — and one missed Wayfair threshold triggers back-taxes and penalties.
What We Build in QuickBooks Online
AI monitors nexus thresholds, pulls transaction data from UltraTax CS, prepares state-by-state returns, and logs filings with evidence — nexus risk is tracked in real time, not discovered at audit. Purpose-built for teams running QuickBooks Online — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
