TaxJar
TaxJar is a sales tax tool for calculating tax, registering for tax, and filing returns.
What TaxJar is
TaxJar is a sales tax tool for calculating tax, registering for tax, and filing returns. Its filing support is automated, and it provides API access. The platform is listed as API-only. TaxJar was founded in 2013. The Starter plan costs $39 a month at the 200-orders-per-month tier and includes three data import integrations and two AutoFile credits per year. The Professional plan costs $99 a month at the same order tier, with ten total integrations, 10,000 API calls per minute, and four AutoFile credits per year. Both plans are listed with the same monthly order tier, while their integration and AutoFile allowances differ. For teams that need sales tax calculation, registration, return filing, or API access, TaxJar brings those functions into one service.
