Overview
TaxJar was founded in 2013 to automate US sales tax compliance for e-commerce companies, and was acquired by Stripe in 2021[11]. It says more than 20,000 businesses use it[11].
The product imports orders from marketplaces and stores, calculates sales tax, tracks nexus and files returns through its AutoFile service. Both plans include a product tax code catalogue, exemption customer support, exemption certificate storage and an address validation API, with up to ten team users[10].
Pricing is tiered by monthly order volume. At the 200-order tier, Starter costs US$39 a month with up to three data-import integrations and two free AutoFile credits a year (further credits US$50); Professional costs US$99 a month with up to ten integrations, phone support, a customer success manager, four AutoFile credits (further credits US$55) and API access[10]. Annual billing saves at least 10%, and flex fees let a seller move temporarily to a higher tier in peak months[10]. Starter has a 30-day free trial; Professional is sold through sales[10]. TaxJar itself notes that Stripe Tax may suit sellers whose billing already runs on Stripe[10].
