Economic Nexus Thresholds, Tracked Per State
Every state sets its own economic-nexus threshold and rule. Fintra holds the thresholds and measures your trailing-12-month activity against each, so you know your status everywhere you sell.
Why thresholds differ by state
There is no single national rule. Since the Wayfair decision, each state sets its own economic-nexus threshold - a sales-dollar amount, sometimes a transaction count, and a rule for how they combine. Fintra encodes the per-state thresholds and rules and evaluates your trailing-12-month activity against each, so “where do I owe?” becomes a status, not a research project.
- Per-state thresholds and the rule (dollars, transactions, or both)
- Your trailing-365-day sales and transaction counts per state
- A status per state derived from the state’s own combinator
- No-tax states recognized and excluded automatically
How the evaluation works
| Input | Source |
|---|---|
| Threshold | The state’s economic-nexus rule |
| Your sales | Trailing-12-month total from your records |
| Your transactions | Trailing-12-month count from your records |
| Registration | Your nexus profile |
| Status | Derived: over / approaching / below / registered / no-tax |
Plan registrations, do not react to them
Honest scope
Thresholds and rules change as states amend their laws. Fintra encodes them to evaluate your status and flags decisions transparently, but state rules evolve - treat the monitor as an early-warning system that informs a registration decision, and confirm specifics with your tax advisor for a given state.
Frequently asked questions
What is the economic nexus threshold in most states?
Many states use a threshold around $100,000 in sales or a set number of transactions in a 12-month period, but the exact dollar amount, whether transactions count, and how they combine vary by state. Fintra encodes each state’s rule and evaluates your trailing-12-month activity against it.
Does the transaction count matter or just sales?
It depends on the state. Some states use a sales-dollar threshold only, some add a transaction count, and they combine them differently. Fintra applies each state’s own combinator to your trailing sales and transaction counts, so the status reflects that state’s actual rule.
How does Fintra determine my status in a state?
It compares your trailing-365-day sales and transaction counts against the state’s threshold and rule, and reads your nexus profile for existing registrations, producing a status: over, approaching, below, registered, or no-tax. No-tax states are excluded automatically.
Do state thresholds change?
Yes - states amend their economic-nexus laws over time. Fintra encodes the thresholds to evaluate your status and flags decisions transparently, but you should treat it as an early-warning system and confirm specifics for a given state with your tax advisor.
