Or you could just outsource it to companies like TaxJar that specialize in this and pay a few bucks to have to all done automatically. After this ruling I expect more and more platforms will have this sort of thing built in. One or two more fields to fill out for your products, but otherwise completely automated.

- seandougall 8y agoThat page doesn't appear to factor in filing costs, which run up to $5000/year. Also, I wouldn't generally classify it as "a little more work", since in many cases the old system could be hard-coded and the new system requires reworking the checkout flow to capture the full mailing address and pass it through an external API before calculating the transaction total.
- objectivetruth 8y agoI think people's point is that if a small business HAS to hire an outside service like TaxJar to comply with the law (pragmatically, if not legally), then it's a bad law. Imagine if filing your personal tax return was, by law, so complicated that it was impossible for an individual to do it without hiring H&R Block -- that would be bogus. And to many of us, it seems awfully similar to what's happening here.
