Why Intuit collects sales tax on sales to out-of-state customers

Intuit is required by law to collect and remit sales tax in every jurisdiction where sales tax is imposed*. In determining that Intuit is legally required to collect sales tax, the state taxing authorities have reviewed the various factors specific to Intuit, creating what is commonly referred to as "Nexus". These factors include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Employees who conduct business within the state on a part time (or greater) basis
• Offices located within the state
• Equipment located within the state
• Direct Mail and other advertising that is distributed to in-state residents via the U.S. Postal Service.

*Intuit does not collect sales tax on products shipped to Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon, as these five states do not currently impose a sales tax.
