Overview
TaxJar is a US sales tax automation platform that handles the full lifecycle from calculation and nexus tracking through reporting and filing across more than 11,000 jurisdictions. Its AutoFile service automatically submits returns and remittances to states where a business is registered, and its Nexus Insights dashboard monitors sales tax exposure and recommends next steps as a seller approaches nexus in new states.
The platform is widely used by e-commerce sellers, with integrations and APIs for pulling marketplace and platform data from systems such as Shopify, Amazon, NetSuite, QuickBooks and Xero, and is designed to support multistate sales tax workflows for modern commerce.
Founded in 2013, TaxJar was acquired by Stripe in 2021 and repositioned as the US filing partner powering Stripe Tax's US returns. It continues to operate as a TaxJar-branded product within Stripe.
