Wow. So that means if I was to be in affiliate sales of any kind, I would still have to calculate the sales tax from every single state other than where I was incorporated/registered in -- and send in potentially 49 other state tax returns every single time I do my taxes?
What does this mean for freelance writers?
Travel bloggers?
This basically means that if you can't calculate sales tax for the other 49 states on a yearly basis (or God forbid -- quarterly if you're self employed and do quarterly taxes) AND file the forms properly at that time -- you're the on the one the hook.
Basically, this means if you're self employed in the states, you really can only accept customers within your state.
UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE.
