The big idea
Selling online to other states triggers sales tax once you cross each state's threshold (usually $100k or 200 transactions). AI can tell you exactly which states you've crossed in and which to ignore so you don't over- or under-collect.
Some examples
- Ask ChatGPT for the 2026 sales tax nexus thresholds in all 50 states.
- Ask Claude to read your last 12 months of state-by-state sales and flag which states you've triggered.
- Ask Gemini what TaxJar, Avalara, and Shopify Tax actually cost for a $50k seller.
- Ask Perplexity for the script to register for a sales tax permit in a new state.
Try it!
Pull your state-by-state sales report. Ask AI which states you've crossed nexus in and start the registration this week.
