When South Dakota won their court case against Wayfair, Inc , in 2018, most states changed their sales tax rules Before the ruling, a business needed to have a physical presence in a location to collect sales tax Now, each state can stipulate their own rules and many of them have done so The idea behind the court case was that states were losing sales-tax revenue to online retailers The case allowed states to put the responsibility on the businesses and force them to collect and submit sales tax based on the location where the item is delivered Colorado also changed collection of sales tax to where the item is delivered when House Bill 19-1240 was passed Unless you are a small business with less than $100,000 in sales, this now applies to you Colorado has one of the most complicated sales tax systems in the U S Did you know some cities span more than one county which means there are different tax rates based on the address?

She is always available to answer questions and address our concerns professionally and efficiently We love Tanya! It is my pleasure to strongly recommend Tanya Bergstrom and “In the Black Bookkeeping” as a reliable, professional resource to assist with your business accounting, sales tax and other clerical needs Initially, we asked Tanya to help with our monthly sales tax filings Over the past five years we’ve increasingly relied on her expertise to assist with other challenges Tanya was instrumental in getting our sales taxes converted to the new reporting and collection rules, working through the endless changes from the state and local municipalities This was a monumental effort and has been practically seamless in implementation and execution We also needed some assistance with the PPP loan application and reporting, and “In the Black Bookkeeping” was a valuable resource to ensure we fully understood and complied with all requirements In addition, when our long-time payroll specialist retired, Tanya was able to easily assume the role and provide us with the same diligence and accuracy we were accustomed to From my perspective, the most important qualities in a Bookkeeping service are accuracy, timeliness, integrity, and a tenacious determination to work through any barriers Tanya provides all of this, along with a pleasant disposition and an honest concern for our business I highly recommend Tanya and “In the Black Bookkeeping” without reservation

We have been working with In The Black Bookkeeping for approximately twelve years During that time Tanya has proven to be highly professional, with tremendous attention to detail and a dedication to our business that is unusual even for an employee She has consistently gone above and beyond doing just what was required, she routinely offers suggestions for improvement which in fact improve things, she is highly responsive and there when you need her We at NEWAVE Sensor Solutions, LLC can recommend Tanya and her services without any hesitation She is a very valuable part of our Team
