Set up correctly from the start
We review what you sell and where you sell it, confirm where you need to register, and set up the right tax rates in your POS, e-commerce and QuickBooks so tax is collected correctly at the register.
Reconciled and filed on time
Each filing period we reconcile sales tax collected in your POS and books to your sales reports, prepare the return and file it, monthly, quarterly or annually depending on your account. We keep a calendar of due dates so nothing is late.
Changes for 2027
Maryland sellers must file sales and use tax electronically for periods after December 31, 2026. If you sell in Maryland, we'll make sure your account is set up for electronic filing before your first 2027 return is due.
Use tax and multi-state questions
Equipment and supplies bought without sales tax may be subject to use tax. Online sales can create obligations in other states. We help you understand what applies to your business and keep you compliant as you grow.
