How do I file a sales tax return?

If your business is registered for sales tax and you collect tax from your customers, you are required to report those earnings to the state. Filing a sales tax return allows you to show the state how much tax you have collected and remitted during a specific period.

Why filing matters

Even if you did not collect any sales tax during a specific filing period, most states still require you to file what is known as a "zero tax return." Failing to file by your state’s deadline, even with no tax owed, can result in penalties or the loss of your sales tax permit.

Where to file

Each state has its own online portal for tax remittance. You can click here to find links to the individual state departments of revenue to learn more about their specific filing processes.
