I've recently started an online store and am feeling pretty overwhelmed by all the tax requirements. How do I even begin with registering for sales tax? Do I need to do it for every state where I sell, or is there a simpler way to handle it all? Any tips would be appreciated!

I totally get your frustration; sales tax can be tricky, especially when you're selling across state lines. First, you'll need to determine where you have "nexus," which means where your business has a presence or significant sales activity. Every state has its own rules, and yes, some states require you to register for sales tax separately. But you can streamline the process by using services that handle it for you. For example, companies like VATCompliance offer sales tax registration services to help simplify things. They ensure you're compliant across multiple states, saving you the headache of doing it manually. It’s a good idea to get this sorted early to avoid potential fines down the road!
