“I know from a friend who has an e-commerce store on another platform that TaxJar has been huge from them but I wasn't liking the WooCommerce based reviews and links I was seeing and was browsing sales tax threads in this subreddit and saw Avalara mentioned. Avalara's AvaTax has great ratings.”
“TaxJar / Avalara / Quaderno will not handle tax filing. They will track sales volumes, notify when thresholds are hit in various jurisdictions, and basically make it easier for you to put together the data / reports needed to do the filing. Registering in specific jurisdictions, etc., is still you responsibility.”
“My wife uses TaxJar and there is currently some glitch that is showing she's doing like 5-10x the business she's actually doing, and they are overcharging her by a ton. There is no way to contact them outside of emails without the pro subscription (which is $100 a month), and they are not responding to emails.”
“With the number of transactions we do, TaxJar would cost us approximately $170/quarter. Is the process really, really *that* much easier with TaxJar? 15% cheaper is sorta convincing but I'd hope there's a bit of automation that makes the task easier for me as well.”
