What it does

You crossed $100K in a state. Did you know? Most 6-figure Etsy and Shopify sellers find out they have sales tax nexus the hard way — when a state DOR sends an audit notice for 2-4 years of uncollected tax. Etsy handles sales tax collection automatically, so sellers assume they're covered. But in most states, your Etsy sales count toward your economic nexus threshold even though Etsy collects the tax. This agent watches every state for you. ## What's included - **Monthly threshold watch** — paste Etsy + Shopify exports (or enter totals); tracks rolling 12-month gross sales + transaction counts by state against per-state thresholds (45 sales-tax states) - **Yellow Zone alerts at 80%** ($80K) — Red Zone when you cross - **Projected crossing date** for states trending up - **SST registration packet** — when you cross in a Streamlined Sales Tax member state (24 states), drafts the single online form that registers you in all crossed SST states simultaneously - **Per-state registration checklists** for non-SST states (California, Texas, New York, + 18 others) - **Per-state filing prep packs** — monthly/quarterly: gross sales, estimated tax due, filing deadline, permit number, DOR portal link - **Kansas Alarm** — Kansas requires registration with $0 in sales (flagged at setup) - **Marketplace facilitator clarity** — every report separates Etsy sales (Etsy collected, $0 liability) from Shopify sales (you owe this); no gross-vs-liability confusion - **Quarterly Drift Report** — states newly crossed, states approaching, states below threshold for 12+ months (deregistration candidates) ## Limitations - **Not auto-filing** — TaxJar / Avalara start at $50-$500/mo and auto-file; this agent helps you understand exposure and prep at lower cost - **Not a CPA** — drafts filings; complex multi-state issues need a sales tax CPA - **Not legal counsel** — nexus interpretation in edge cases (drop shipping, services-with-physical-goods) needs an attorney - **U.S.-only** — international VAT (EU OSS, UK VAT, AU GST) entirely different regime - **Single-business scope** — multi-entity sellers (DBAs, LLC chains) run per-entity sessions ## Best fit 6-figure Etsy + Shopify sellers ($100K-$2M annual GMV) running their business solo or with a part-time bookkeeper. Especially valuable for sellers who've never registered in any state but the gross numbers say they should have — at $39/mo, one prevented audit notice ($5K-$25K in back taxes + penalties + CPA cleanup fees) covers the agent for years.
