QuickBooks users can now calculate sales tax using Avalara's AvaTax ST for Intuit's QuickBooks Pro, Premier and Enterprise Editions. The Web-based AvaTax ST automates the sales tax compliance function by performing address validations, jurisdiction and rate research, tax calculations, and detailed reporting. It also automatically generates prepopulated returns for any of the over 800 North American taxing jurisdictions. AvaTax ST is designed to meet the needs of firms that are running operations where the person processing orders and setting up new customers may be the same person who could be out making sales or generating billable hours. The integrated AvaTax ST for Pro, Premier and Enterprise QuickBooks users can be downloaded now at www.avalara.com, and will be available for purchase in late July 2005. QuickBooks users can order the service at $9.95 per month with per-transaction and activation fees, or purchase transactions-included packages starting at $29.95 monthly, plus activation fee.
