You may have heard in the recent news: Amazon has agreed to share sensitive seller data to the state of MA, and it has created a near panic for online sellers across the country. As in any panic, people tend to overreact. We have already seen a number of responses that will lead sellers down the wrong path. We’ll tell you the three most ridiculous ones we’ve heard.
Join Andrew Johnson, CPA and Michael Fleming for an informative session where we will answer questions about how this may change the game for online sellers in other states, including:
1. What exactly does the notice that Amazon sent to sellers about Massachusetts mean
2. Is MA going to hit my clients up for back taxes, penalty and interest
3. What if clients are already registered in MA, what can I do to protect them
4. Is there an Amnesty program in place in MA, or in other states
5. Is MA going to share this info with other states, and do we expect other states follow the same approach
6. Can my clients avoid penalties by opening a new entity or closing the Amazon account
7. Which other states are big, or bigger, sales tax problem state for FBA sellers
8. What about notice and reporting, economic nexus
9. What is the Wayfair case all about
Bring your questions, we will provide lots on interactive Q&A.
