About This Course

Multistate taxation is a moving target. Ever since the Wayfair decision, states have become increasingly aggressive in pursuing online and out-of-state sellers to collect sales and income taxes. However, how do you know where you need to file? Even though every state is different, are there any rules of thumb?

In this course, we will explore general rules for nexus of sales tax and income tax purposes. We will talk about what is true in many states and some of the key things to look for when you go to the state statutes. If you are just starting as a practitioner or have made the leap to go into business for yourself, this will give you the foundation you need to get off to a great start!

Who Should Attend:

Tax practitioners who work with business owners on multistate tax issues and business owners operating in multiple states.
