Post-Wayfair Complexity

Economic Nexus Changed the Rules

Post-Wayfair, any state where you exceed $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions is a tax nexus. You likely have more than you think. Webgility maps transactions to the correct jurisdiction and posts tax entries that align with your sales tax compliance tool.

The accounting treatment varies by state, some have origin-based sourcing, some destination-based. Webgility applies the correct treatment at the order level, by state, before the entry posts to QuickBooks.

Channel Tax Differences

Amazon Collects. Shopify Doesn't Always.

Amazon collects and remits sales tax in most states under marketplace facilitator rules. Shopify charges and remits per your configured settings. The accounting treatment for each is different. Webgility applies the correct treatment by channel, by state, by order.

Treating Amazon and Shopify the same creates tax liability. Webgility knows the difference and posts accordingly, without manual channel-by-channel configuration every time rules change.

TAX TREATMENT · ORDER LEVEL · MAY 2026

Amazon NY saleMFP remits · no QB liability entry

State-Level Data Already in QuickBooks

Webgility produces QuickBooks entries organized by state-level tax jurisdiction. When your CPA needs a state-level breakdown for tax filing, it's already in QuickBooks, not locked in a spreadsheet export or a channel dashboard.

Jurisdiction-level accuracy

Every order maps to the correct state. Every tax entry posts to the right jurisdiction liability account. Your tax preparer gets state-by-state data, already in QuickBooks.

Channel-aware treatment

Amazon marketplace facilitator vs Shopify collected, treated correctly at the order level, automatically. No manual override required when facilitator rules change.

Nexus awareness

Sales volume tracked by state. When you're approaching the economic nexus threshold in a new state, Webgility flags it before you cross it, not after you've created a liability.

Tax Tool Integration

Already Using Avalara or TaxJar? Good.

Webgility works alongside Avalara and TaxJar, not instead of them. Your compliance tool handles nexus determination, rate calculation, and filing. Webgility handles the accounting entries that reflect what it collects: sales tax posted to the correct liability account in QuickBooks, by jurisdiction, by channel, before your CPA opens the file.

Your Avalara configuration stays exactly as it is. What changes is what's waiting in QuickBooks at month-end.
