We started shipping wholesale into Oregon and Idaho this year. Someone told me that creates a tax filing in each. True?

Daniel Reyes

Sometimes. It depends on volume and on what you are doing in each state, and the thresholds are different for income tax and sales tax.

Send me sales by state for the year to date and I will tell you exactly where you have crossed a line, rather than guessing.

Reviewed. The short version:

• Washington — you are already registered, nothing changes. • Oregon — $412,000 of sales. Over the threshold for the Corporate Activity Tax; registration needed. • Idaho — $74,000. Under both thresholds. Nothing to do, but it is close enough to watch.

Oregon has no sales tax, so this is one registration and one annual return, not a monthly obligation. Full note attached.
