Benefits of using TaxJar

    Pros
    They are always quickly available, friendly, helpful, supportive, and really listen to what your question or issue is. I really appreciate that...great business support and customer service.
    Very easy to use software, and amazing customer support. I have only needed support a few times, but every time it is so easy to get ahold of them and they resolve issues very quickly.
    Autofile is very nice, navigation and articles/help/support through all the tax laws of each state is very useful.
    Cons
    The interface stinks - I frequently have to have 6 or 7 tabs open at once just to fill out one state's tax return. But, I'll take function over fashion on this one.
    It was hard to understand how to make things work for my business. Whenever I tried to set it up, I just became more frustrated.
    Having to collect and remit sales tax can be a challenge for a beginning business owner, but this software takes some of the pressure off.
