Prepares and files your sales and use tax returns with a higher degree of accuracy than doing it yourself – and in a fraction of the time.
Stop the juggling act
So many deadlines. So many forms. Preparing and filing your sales and use tax returns is a tiresome task. Leave it to Avalara, and refocus your staff on other priorities.
Way less hassle
Returns has direct access to your tax data via Avalara AvaTax, so your returns preparation is faster and more accurate. In fact, you’ll barely lift a finger.
Easy compliance
Filing in multiple jurisdictions means remitting multiple payments. Returns consolidates your payments into a single transfer then distributes the funds on your behalf.
Reduce audit exposure
Keep your compliance on track, even as deadlines and regulations change. Returns helps reduce your risk of inaccuracies and late fees.
Completely customizable
Set up Returns for all the states and jurisdictions where you file, or just the most difficult ones — you decide. It’s easy to see what you owe where within your Avalara account.
