Filing Frequency FAQs

In this article:

What's my filing frequency?

Each state assigns you a filing frequency depending on their specific tax rules and your sales volume. If you attempt to file on a schedule that differs from the one assigned to you, the state may assess penalties and interest and require you to amend your previous filings.

If you've registered for a sales tax license and you're not sure of your frequency, contact the state's department of revenue.

How do I update my filing frequency in my TaxJar account?

If you receive a filing frequency change notice from the state, you'll need to update your state payment schedule in TaxJar as follows:

  1. Log into your TaxJar account and go to your state nexus settings.  
  2. Click on the state you need to change and click Edit next to Payment Schedule
  3. Select the new filing frequency and effective date from the dropdown menus. NOTE: Pay attention to the effective date for your new filing frequency and ensure it matches what you input in TaxJar.
  4. Click Save changes.
