*****BEWARE!! DO NOT USE TAXJAR!!! *****Charging us $30,000 in states sales tax when we really owe $300. RIDICULOUS!!! They will not help us amend this before filing. They will be stealing $30,000 from us that we don't have!! They also take days to respond and there are deadlines that they will not help before!

Consider this review a serious caution. I wish it were possible to rate this app with zero stars. The support team is virtually non-existent, and on the rare occasion you do receive a response, it's clear they lack any real understanding of their own service. We're currently paying $349 monthly for the Pro plan, which is set to increase to $499 next month. Additionally, they fail to offer SST service as they aren't a certified service provider, which is concerning given the seriousness of sales tax compliance and the risks associated with non-compliance. I strongly advise avoiding this service.

AWFUL. HORRIBLE. DO NOT USE THIS APP!!! We've been using for about 4 years but now, Support is worthless ever since they were acquired by Intuit. It literally takes weeks to get an email reply. Stay away!!

I could not currently recommend this service. There has been no support and it is extremely difficult to reach out and get help. I've additionally been charged for a service that I canceled. Hoping to see improvements in the future.
