What Is My Nexus?
Online sellers must collect sales tax in states or localities where they have “sales tax nexus.”
While all states have a slightly different definition of this term, sales tax nexus is generally defined as “presence” in a state. This presence must be significant enough so that a business has to comply with the state’s sales tax law
Presence can include – but is not limited to – an office, an employee or a warehouse.
If you have sales tax nexus in a state that requires sales tax collection, then you’re required to collect sales tax from all buyers in that state, regardless from where the item is shipped.
If you do not have sales tax nexus in a state, then you’re not required to collect sales tax when you sell online to buyers in that state (regardless from where the item is shipped).”
