About TaxJar Sales Tax Automation
TaxJar Sales Tax Automation is a smart app for tax automation for Shopify stores. It handles all your tax woes and lets you focus on the main job- selling more!
- Businesses can prepare sales tax returns in minutes and not only that they can file sales tax returns easily. It saves hours.
- Automated sales tax reports by state and local tax jurisdiction
- TaxJar will handle your returns. Forget about filing with AutoFile.
Note: With Shopify’s built-in tax engine TaxJar exports the collected sales tax and does not currently support real-time calculations for Shopify stores at checkout. Alternatively, for promised accuracy, our industry-leading technology will recalculate the sales tax within your TaxJar dashboard.
Every month more than 20,000 eCommerce enterprises show their trust in us. Talking about sales tax, collecting is the easiest part. On the other hand, everything else is tricky and difficult. TaxJar is a blessing for all the cumbersome tasks.
How does the TaxJar app work for Shopify?
Say no to Spreadsheets! -  TaxJar’s local jurisdiction reports show you sales and sales tax collected not only for each state you’re collecting in but for local jurisdiction (counties, cities, special jurisdictions, etc). You can also filter data by any date range you need. It is a perfect app for you when it's time to file your sales tax returns!
Automated filing with Auto file in just one click- You don’t have to lift a finger for filing sales tax returns. We will automatically file directly to the state for you. With just one click, the dreaded process of filing sales return is over!

I'm having so much trouble understanding this app right now, support is non-existent. Nobody will speak on the phone unless you want to talk with sales staff. Chat support is really just email. I want my money BACK!!!!

Update: After complaining to TaxJar, they did agree to amend one of my returns free of charge. Importing tax exempt order settings from Shopify is still an issue though, and I hope they fix it soon. Two huge problems with this app: 1) If you mark an order as tax exempt in Shopify, TaxJar will completely ignore it and will add it to your total owed. If you don't manually mark every order as exempt in TaxJar as well, you'll end up remitting more tax than you owe. 2) They charge $25 per state per filing, and their tax calculations have not even once aligned with Shopify's calculations for me. I'm spending way more time than I should trying to figure out where the discrepancies lie. If you want them to amend an autofiling, it's a $99 fee. In theory, if everything worked properly, it'd be great. Unfortunately in practice it has been more trouble than it's worth.
