Choose your tax preferences

Learn how to choose or change your tax preferences for each state.

  1. In ShipCompliant, go to Tools, then click Tax Preferences.
  2. Select the tax preferences you want to define for each state in the United States.
    The tax preference options that appear in the dropdowns for each state vary depending on the state's tax rules and requirements. For example, Delaware does not have sales tax, so No Tax is the only option for onsite and offsite orders. The default onsite and offsite preference for each state is the most common selection, and is marked with an asterisk (*). The defaults may change slightly depending on if you have the Nexus checkbox selected for the state. If you are unsure of your tax preferences, review any documents you have received from the states, or call the state for guidance.
  3. Click Apply Tax Preferences to save your updates.
