Handling State Tax Notices

When you receive a tax notice from a state related to sales tax, don't panic! Here's how to handle common notices.

What to Do When You Receive a Notice

  1. Forward the notice to our support team — Scan or photograph the notice and send it to us

  2. Note the deadline — Most notices have a response deadline

  3. Don't ignore it — Even if you think it's an error, notices need attention

Common Types of Notices

Payment Reminders / Past Due Notices

These indicate a payment wasn't received or processed. Our team will verify: - Whether the payment was made - If it was applied to the correct period - If there's a discrepancy with the state

Registration Confirmations

When you receive a new permit or registration certificate: - Keep it for your records - No action typically required - We'll update your account with the permit number

Permit Cancellation Notices

If you receive a cancellation notice: - This may be for an old entity - Contact us to confirm which entity/account it relates to - We'll advise if any action is needed

Multi-State Notices

If you receive notices from multiple states: - send them all together - We'll review each one and provide a consolidated response.
