Many small business owners often feel like they might be a heartbeat away from the IRS tax audit. In fact, according to the IRS data , only about 1 percent of taxpayers are facing an audit. If you’re a small business owner, however, your chances are a bit higher – about 2.5 percent of small businesses are getting tax audited.

Sales and use tax nexus is defined as a connection between a person or entity and a taxing jurisdiction. Sales tax nexus is the basis for all your sales tax decisions because without sales tax nexus you have no further obligation to a state. If you determine your products/services are taxable and you have nexus, then you must register, begin charging and collecting sales tax and file and remit returns to all the states and jurisdictions in which you have nexus.
