Does TaxCloud charge per filing?

Filings are normally bought as a tiered annual subscription rather than charged per filing. Tiers run from $399/year for 12 filings to $11,999/year for 600, so the effective rate falls from about $33 to $20 per filing as volume rises. Without a filing subscription, pay-as-you-go is $45 per filing.

Is TaxCloud SST certified?

Yes. TaxCloud is a Certified Service Provider in the Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) Program. That means free filings in all 24 SST member states for customers who qualify (no physical nexus in those states, enrolled in SST).

Does TaxCloud offer a free trial?

Yes. 30-day free trial of the Premium plan.

Does TaxCloud support international VAT and GST?

No. TaxCloud is US sales tax only, with no VAT or GST coverage. If you sell internationally, you'll need a separate solution for those jurisdictions.

How much does TaxCloud cost for a typical SMB ecommerce brand?

For a typical SMB ecommerce profile (50,000 orders/year, 120 filings across 10 states (5 of them SST member states), on Shopify), TaxCloud costs approximately $4,298 per year on the Starter plan. This is the calculator's estimate using TaxCloud's published pricing; actual cost will vary with your specific order volume, state footprint, and SST eligibility.

How much does TaxCloud cost for a typical mid-market ecommerce brand?

For a typical mid-market ecommerce profile (250,000 orders/year, 200 filings across 20 states (10 of them SST member states), on Shopify), TaxCloud costs approximately $6,998 per year on the Starter plan. This is the calculator's estimate using TaxCloud's published pricing; actual cost will vary with your specific order volume, state footprint, and SST eligibility.

How much does TaxCloud cost? The Starter plan starts at $19/month ($199/year), including 100 orders/month. TaxCloud also charges $45 per state filing and $249 per state registration.

Typical TaxCloud pricing

Headline prices like “starts at $X” rarely match what a real ecommerce brand pays. Here's what TaxCloud costs for two typical profiles. Both assume Shopify, monthly filing cadence, annual billing, and a typical $120 AOV. Plug in your own numbers in the calculator.

SMB

50K orders · 120 filings · 10 states · 5 SST · Shopify

$4,298/ year

Recommended plan: Starter

Subscription: $2,499
Filings: $1,799
SST returns: 60 not charged

What this estimate assumes

Which returns land in SST states is estimated, not known: without per-state filing cadence the model assumes returns are spread evenly across your filing states, so 5 of 10 states means 60 of 120 returns. A footprint that clusters returns in non-SST states costs more than this shows.
"Not charged" is not universal across SST states. CO adds $60 per filing (home rule cities require additional local filings); LA adds $30 per filing (parish-level filing complexity); WA adds $45 per filing (washington b&o is billed as a separate filing and is not covered by sst). Those are not modeled here because the calculator has no per-state input.
This is TaxCloud's published tier pricing, which is self-serve and transactable at list. A sales-assisted deal can still land below it, so treat the figure as what you would pay without negotiating rather than the floor of what is achievable.
Filings are priced as a tiered annual subscription (not per-filing × volume). The SST CSP credit eliminates the per-filing cost in all 24 SST member states, Tennessee included, where the customer has economic nexus only (no physical presence), on any TaxCloud plan.

Mid-Market

250K orders · 200 filings · 20 states · 10 SST · Shopify

$6,998/ year

Recommended plan: Starter

Subscription: $3,499
Filings: $3,499
SST returns: 100 not charged

What this estimate assumes

249,996 orders/year exceeds the top published Starter tier (240,000 orders/year). The subscription shown is that published ceiling. TaxCloud bills orders above tier at the tier's per-order rate, so actual cost will be higher; Premium publishes tiers up to 480,000 orders/year.
Which returns land in SST states is estimated, not known: without per-state filing cadence the model assumes returns are spread evenly across your filing states, so 10 of 20 states means 100 of 200 returns. A footprint that clusters returns in non-SST states costs more than this shows.
"Not charged" is not universal across SST states. CO adds $60 per filing (home rule cities require additional local filings); LA adds $30 per filing (parish-level filing complexity); WA adds $45 per filing (washington b&o is billed as a separate filing and is not covered by sst).

Where the bill grows beyond the headline

Costs that aren't in the plan price. The calculator factors these in where the provider publishes them; where they don't, we say so.

Per state filing

$45 / filing

Two different numbers get confused here, so both are recorded. $45 is the pay-as-you-go rate for a single filing with no filing subscription, and it is the figure in base_cost. $39/month is the entry price of the filing subscription (1 return/month), which is what the pricing page means by 'starting at $39'. Filing service is normally bought as a tiered subscription, not per-filing × volume: each tier covers up to its filing count for one all-in annual fee, and effective per-filing cost declines from about $33 at the 12-filings tier to $20 at the 600-filings tier. Colorado adds $60 per filing and Louisiana adds $30 per filing for home-rule and parish complexity. Washington B&O is billed as a separate $45 filing and is not covered by SST. Filings are free in all 24 SST member states, Tennessee included, for eligible customers on any plan, meaning SST-enrolled with no physical nexus in that state.

Per state registration
