Overview

TaxJar is a cloud-based US sales tax compliance platform for solo and small to mid-sized firms with e-commerce clients on Amazon, Shopify, WooCommerce, or QuickBooks that handles real-time tax calculations, nexus tracking, and AutoFile return submissions. It calculates the correct tax rate at the point of sale using real-time data across all 50 states and more than 11,000 jurisdictions, then keeps reports up to date so your firm or client can see exactly what is owed by state, county, and city.

The AutoFile service handles return preparation and submission on the correct deadline. TaxJar reports a 100 percent on-time filing rate and files millions of returns per year. Nexus Insights tracks economic nexus thresholds so firms advising multi-state sellers know when a new state registration is needed before the client crosses the line.

TaxJar works with Amazon, Shopify, WooCommerce, QuickBooks, and a range of other platforms via API. Accounting firms can connect client accounts to pull order data, review reports, and manage AutoFile credits across multiple clients from one login.

Pricing starts at $39 per month on the Starter plan, which covers up to 200 orders and includes 2 AutoFile credits per year. The Professional plan at $99 per month adds phone support, a Customer Success Manager, historical archive access, and 4 AutoFile credits. Annual billing saves 10 percent or more. A 30-day free trial with full Professional plan access and no credit card required is available. TaxJar covers US jurisdictions only.

Frequently asked questions

Is TaxJar still being recommended for new buyers?
With qualifications. TaxJar's affiliate program shut down after the Stripe acquisition in 2021, and the product has been folded into Stripe Tax for new customers. Existing TaxJar customers can continue using the platform, but new sign-ups are now routed through Stripe Tax. We keep the TaxJar page in the catalogue because firms with existing TaxJar implementations still ask about features, pricing tiers, and migration paths. For new buyers in the US sales-tax space, look at Avalara, Anrok (for SaaS), or Stripe Tax directly.
How much does TaxJar cost for existing customers?
TaxJar pricing started around 19 USD per month for the lowest tier and scaled to a few hundred USD per month for high-volume sellers. Pricing was based on transaction volume per month with annual discounts for higher tiers. Existing customers should check their current contract terms with Stripe, since renewal pricing and migration timelines may differ from the original TaxJar terms.
What does TaxJar actually do?
TaxJar handles US sales-tax compliance for ecommerce and SaaS sellers across all 50 states. It calculates sales tax at checkout, files state-by-state returns automatically, and remits payments. The original product was strongest on the calculation engine (US-only) and its integrations with Shopify, Amazon, eBay, BigCommerce, and Stripe. Post-acquisition, the calculation logic has been integrated into Stripe Tax, which is now Stripe's preferred path for new customers.
Should an existing TaxJar customer migrate to Stripe Tax?
Eventually, yes. Stripe has indicated that TaxJar will continue to operate as a separate product for existing customers in the medium term, but new feature development is happening on Stripe Tax. If your client is on Stripe for payments, the migration is straightforward and the combined product is cheaper than running TaxJar alongside Stripe payments. If your client is on a non-Stripe payment processor, plan for a more careful migration evaluation against alternatives like Avalara or Anrok.
What are the alternatives for new buyers?
For ecommerce sellers on Shopify or Amazon, Avalara is the established US sales-tax compliance tool and is broader internationally. For SaaS sellers managing the post-Wayfair patchwork of US digital-services tax rules, Anrok is purpose-built for the SaaS use case and was designed after the Wayfair decision. For sellers already on Stripe payments, Stripe Tax is the simplest integration. None of these match TaxJar's original price point, but all three handle the regulatory work TaxJar was built for.
