Upload Amazon sales data

If you are not using Tax Determination or an API to share transaction data with Sales Tax Filing, you need to upload your transactions in a file.

Important:

Transaction data must be uploaded by the fourth business day of each month. If the data is not uploaded by then, Sovos can't guarantee that the return will be filed on time in that filing period.

Make sure that the file is in CSV UTF-8 format.
Add a column with the header Marketplace code. Leave the rows under the header empty.
Add a column with the header Exempt. Leave the rows under the header empty.
Make sure your column headers start in the eighth row. Amazon Marketplace transaction reports typically contain report descriptions and other metadata in rows one through seven, so the template is set up to skip these first seven rows. If your report has fewer than seven rows, insert additional blank rows so that your header row starts on row eight.
Make sure that the file contains the following required Amazon fields, which are automatically mapped to Sovos fields:


Amazon Field	Sovos Field
date/time	Document Date
order id	Document Number
quantity	Quantity
order city	Ship to City
order state	Ship to State/Province
order postal	Ship to Postal Code
tax collection model	Good/Service Code Description
product sales	Gross Amount
product sales tax	Tax Amount

Log in to Batch Determination and select your organization from the dropdown.
Click Upload.
In Step 2, select Amazon: Transaction Report.
In Step 3, click Browse to select the file from your computer or drag and drop the file into the upload area, then click Next.
Your transaction data is uploaded to Batch Determination. When Batch Determination finishes processing your data, it displays a results screen with a summary of the uploaded transactions.
Review the upload:
- The transaction summary shows the total tax amount and exempt amount for each country and state/province. To view individual transaction amounts, click Download report.
- If Batch Determination ran into errors while processing your file, download the error reports.
Note:
Though you can save an upload with errors for filing, we recommend that you correct the issues identified in the error report and then upload the corrected file.
If the data in the upload is final and will not change, click Save, then click Save for Filing on the confirmation popup.

Your transaction data will be available in Sales Tax Filing within 24 hours.
