Not necessarily. A state may consider physical activity, economic activity, what is being sold, where the sale is sourced, and how the sale is made. Rules and thresholds differ by state, so the review must be based on the specific jurisdictions and facts.

Possibly. Marketplace rules differ by state, and direct sales or other business activity may still create registration or reporting requirements. The applicable states and sales channels need to be reviewed before a conclusion is reached.

Tavella CPA Group will identify the missing items and explain what is needed next. Preparation or filing may need to pause until the required information is received, and any deadline or extension options will be discussed based on the circumstances.

Only when representation is expressly included in the written engagement. Audit, examination, and notice-response work are otherwise reviewed and scoped separately.
