TaxJar API

TaxJar automates sales tax calculations, reporting, and filings. DEACOM is now integrated with TaxJar to add sales tax to Sales Orders based on a valid Zipcode and ISO country abbreviation. Please ask your Customer Success Manager for a quote to begin using the TaxJar API. Configuration and process information on how the TaxJar API is used in DEACOM is available via the Calculating Sales Taxes using TaxJar page. TaxJar functionality is only available in web based versions of DEACOM.

DEACOM's integration with TaxJar allows companies to automate sales tax calculations and auto file state taxes. The process involves the calculation of sales taxes at the time of order entry and again at the time of order shipment, to update any rates which may have changed. Taxes are recorded in TaxJar automatically at the time of shipment based on the Ship-to address, provided there is a state nexus added in the TaxJar application and the order being shipped has a tax order line that is TaxJar-generated at time of order entry or via the Sales > Re-Price function. Users can then file taxes automatically by logging into the TaxJar application, verifying the information, and completing the necessary steps. The process saves companies time and ensures greater accuracy when calculating sales taxes. In addition, companies no longer have to maintain sales tax rate information in DEACOM since this is now handled via the TaxJar application. The calculation of sales taxes via TaxJar is available when orders are entered and shipped in the main application, the DEACOM Point of Sale application, via EDI, and in the DEACOM eCommerce offering.

Additionally, different product categories (supplements, alcohol, food, general merchandise, etc.) may be taxed at different rates when using TaxJar by configuring the necessary Tax Exemption Groups. Once a Sales Order line is added for a taxable item, one line will be added to the order for the total sales tax amount based on the applicable rates. This is different from DEACOM's inherent tax lines that list State, County, etc. taxes separately. Items that are not flagged as "Taxable" are not sent to TaxJar. Items that are flagged as "Taxable" and have a 99999 tax exempt code are sent to TaxJar. Because of this, the Sales Order total will be different in TaxJar that the total in DEACOM. Keep in mind that when using TaxJar, the Accounting Reporting "Sales Tax" report will no longer serve a purpose. The TaxJar application will replace this functionality.
