Overview

TaxCloud is a US-focused sales tax compliance service that provides real-time tax calculation, economic nexus tracking, return filing and remittance for e-commerce and SaaS businesses. It calculates sales tax across US jurisdictions, monitors nexus thresholds with notifications, supports exemption certificates and address validation, and offers built-in filing and remittance for all 50 states.

A distinguishing aspect is its status as a Certified Service Provider (CSP) under the Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) program, which lets it offer free or discounted filing and remittance in the SST member states (around 24 states) for eligible sellers. The platform offers native integrations with platforms such as Shopify, BigCommerce, Odoo, QuickBooks and NetSuite, plus an API.

Founded in 2008, TaxCloud targets cost-sensitive small and mid-sized sellers with transparent, tiered pricing including a free home-state plan and paid plans that scale by order volume and filing coverage.
