How to set up your Nexus States


  💡 What is a nexus state: You collect sales taxes from customers who live in the states where you have nexus. (See: Sales Tax Nexus Defined.)

When you enabled TaxJar's calculations within your Squarespace account, you were prompted to create a TaxJar account and to set up your nexus states.

  • To add a nexus state, click Add State Registration.
  • Enter in the state information. 
  • If you have a physical address in the state, click Yes.
    If you do not, you can leave this blank. 
  • Click Save & Add Another if you have additional nexus states.  

As a general reminder, before collecting any sales tax, you're required to register to collect sales taxes from all customers who live in the states where you have nexus

How to manage nexus states in TaxJar 

To add or remove nexus states, please log in to your TaxJar Dashboard and click Edit.

  • Then you can add more nexus states.
  • Or, you can disable a nexus state by selecting Delete & Disable.

What if I need to add more data or connect another sales channel? 

If you need to import more data via a spreadsheet upload or add another channel where you sell, you will need to upgrade to a Professional TaxJar account.

Can I view or export any reports of my data to file my returns?

When you set up tax calculations in your Squarespace account with TaxJar, you have access to enable and manage calculations for the states where you have nexus.

  • Please note that you would need to upgrade to a Professional TaxJar account in order to gain access to generate and view state sales tax reports.
