Whether you want to believe it or not but technology is changing the game. It may be time to change if you are still stuck manually completing important tasks or reports on paper. I respect that you are Old School but ask yourself, are you just really too scare to change? If you are just scared then I can't respect you but I can understand. However if you are an entrepreneur, you better not be scared of change. Learn how to make technology work for you and your clients or you will be replaced by technology. It is pretty much that simple. The goal of my accounting tech blog posts are not to make you an expert or convince you to purchase the product. My goal is to educate you about the different technology advances out there in the world of accounting and business. I will only give you basic information but it will be up to you to do your homework. My posts are not endorsements and the companies are not paying me. I will only endorse my company, J.S. Tax Corporation at www.jstaxcorp.com (shameless plug)! Today post will be about TaxJar which appears to be owned by TPS Unlimited, Inc.

Sales tax can be a real headache, especially if you deal with multiple states. In my opinion, only payroll taxes gives you more headaches than sales taxes. State governments are getting more aggressive with their sales tax policies. State governments need to find creative ways to make up for budget issues.  If you are an online merchant, the last thing you want to receive is a sales tax payment demand notice from any state tax department (especially from my home state of New York). You may need me to represent you if you get to that point! Well, TaxJar claims to have the solution to your sales tax nightmares.
