I want to know about the taxes for each and every state of USA, how to setup?
Topic summary
Main issue: How to set up U.S. sales tax in Shopify for a new jewelry store, and what to enter in the Sales Tax ID field.
Key points:
- In the U.S., you only collect sales tax in states where you have nexus (a legal obligation), typically from physical presence, inventory, employees, or meeting an economic sales threshold.
- Shopify setup: Settings → Taxes and duties → United States. Add only the states where you have nexus and enable automatic tax calculation. Shopify calculates tax, but you must register, file, and remit.
- The Sales Tax ID is the state-issued permit number you receive after registering with that state’s tax authority. Shopify does not create this ID.
Current context from the poster:
- Business is online-only, based in Austin, Texas. That creates nexus in Texas.
- Action: Register with the Texas Comptroller for a Texas Sales Tax Permit and enter that permit number as the Sales Tax ID. Leave other states (e.g., Georgia) blank unless you establish nexus and register there.
Status: Guidance provided; awaiting confirmation of Texas permit registration. An image referenced shows the Sales Tax ID field but is not essential to the instructions.
