TaxCloud can file your sales tax returns in every U.S. state. To get started, the steps you’ll take depend on whether the state is a Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) Member or a non-SST state. Some states, like Tennessee and Pennsylvania, fall into both categories depending on your nexus type.

### Non-SST States:

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, **Tennessee (physical presence)**, **Pennsylvania (physical presence)**

### To Enable Filings in Non-SST States:


1. ✉️ Email [this form](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j3jYWJiUiJtfik6PoOH-lpxJ4sAufNCO/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=105262909546658726874&rtpof=true&sd=true) to service@taxcloud.net with the information for the state(s) requested.

   
   1. *You cannot edit and save the form online. Navigate to File > Download > Microsoft Excel (.xlsx).*
   2. Fill out the form and send to the email address above.
2. ✅ [Enable filing](https://support.taxcloud.com/en-us/articles/enabling-filing-in-taxcloud-grZ7pDxMQA) in your TaxCloud account via the Thresholds page.

We'll also need the contact information (name, email, phone) for the person we should reach out to in case of any questions or issues with your monthly filings.

If this is your first direct filing (non-SST filing) with TaxCloud, we'll also need your bank account information to be used for the state tax funding.

* Please note that, to our knowledge, states do not allow card payments and only allow ACH withdrawals (via routing & account number). Because of this, when you're setting up your first non-SST filing with us, we'll need to collect that banking information from you during enrollment.
