Sales tax rates with a best practices, automated approach.  Sales tax compliance is a notorious hassle for small businesses selling into multiple jurisdictions.

Now, QuickBooks users can remove that burden with AvaTax Connect, saving time, ensuring accuracy and benefiting from sales tax compliance best practices.

>> AvaTax Connect saves significant data entry time in adding new customers. When adding a new customer, just enter the customer address, and AutoAddress+ instantly corrects, verifies, and standardizes the address against Avalara's CASS-certified, US Postal Service database of addresses. You don't even have to key in information for every field - save time by entering just the street address and ZIP code, and a correct, complete address, with ZIP+4, will be returned.

AvaTax Connect also saves you the time and effort of researching jurisdictions and tax rates, creating Sales Tax Items and Sales Tax Groups and maintaining tax rate information. Just select one single sales tax that applies to all your customers: AVATAX, and AvaTax Connect takes care of the rest. NEVER research a tax jurisdiction or rate change again.

>> AvaTax Connect ensures consistency and accuracy for every transaction. To begin with, with AutoAddress+, you always start with a correct and complete address. Then, the address is geo-coded by our GIS mapping system as a failsafe, to ensure taxing jurisdictions are always identified even when the address is in a ZIP code with multiple or overlapping taxing authorities. When it comes to tax calculation, you always know the rate is current and correct because rates are collected, real-time, from our professionally-maintained, up-to-date tax rate database. Never worry about human error, or making an out-of-date, misinformed, or best-guess tax decision again.

>> AvaTax Connect provides you "best practices" in sales tax compliance. Researching and maintaining sales tax rates is best not handled as an order-entry responsibility. With AvaTax Connect, your accounting professional can set taxability, nexus and sourcing rules, while AvaTax takes care of the real-time rate research and calculation to remove the possibility for error or "best-guess" decision-making at order entry. Rely on AvaTax Connect to provide reporting that includes complete detail of every transaction, along with reason and location codes, whether it was taxable on not, and revenue and cost account reconciliation.

>> It gets even better. AvaTax will soon include automated sales tax returns generation and electronic remittance automating the entire sales tax processing.

>> Quick Service Activation. Service activation takes minutes, and integration with QuickBooks is seamless with no change to the existing work flow, and no end user training required.

Address Verification
U.S. Postal Service CASS certification and validation of the street address. ZIP PLUS 4 - PLUS 4 determines the exact jurisdiction in which tax is to be calculated, rather than choosing between up to the five different jurisdictions that can apply when using only a five digit ZIP code with automatic address verification.  You are assured of no more bad addresses in data entry, each order gets your customers address right the first time. As an added benefit, US Postal Service "CASS" certification reduces shipping mistakes and makes you eligible for preferential shipping rates.
