For makers who want to understand their obligations and manage filings themselves.

Sales tax rules can vary by state, sales channel, and product type. This service is designed for artists and creative business owners who want clarity and a practical system so they can stay compliant with confidence.

What I provide

• Education on Physical vs. Economic Nexus (when and where sales tax is required)

• Guidance on taxable vs. non-taxable sales for creative businesses

• Overview of Marketplace Facilitator rules and platform-collected tax

• Assistance with state registration and account setup (as applicable)

• Walkthrough of filing frequency, deadlines, and recordkeeping requirements

• Answers to questions specific to how and where you sell

Important note This service does not include the preparation or submission of sales tax returns. It is designed to equip you with the knowledge and systems needed to handle your own filings independently.

Best fit if: You want to understand the "why" and "how" of sales tax, set things up correctly, and handle future filings on your own.
