Help with sales tax

How do I make it only charge sales tax from local orders within my state?
If out of state I dont want to charge sales tax at all

Thanks

Re: Help with sales tax

I implemented Tax Cloud (Free) just for my state (CO).

In the example provided (Colorado) there are so many taxes, City, County, Science, RTD, etc. in addition to the state tax that one 'flat' state tax does not cut it.

Try it out, click around your state, some states are 'easy', others, like Colorado are a tax nightmare:

Can't help with Tax Cloud, but there's this:

Long-term solution is to get politically active and help put an end to that kind of insanity.

I followed this fine. Easy enough. Now when I enter my price the net box is the same where before it showed the full price with tax
Did I mess it up?

Tax cloud was easy to implement. Just make sure curl is installed/enabled within php.

That mod would still require you to know all of various locality taxes and enter in the info.

Tax cloud is automatic. It can be used in all states where you have a nexus (and must collect sales tax), Some states it can automatically file / pay your taxes for you. (Un)fortunately, CO is not a SSUTA state, so the automation is missing for me, but it does give me a nice email reminder and report of all owed sales tax.

I am incredibly politically active/involved, but sort of in a 'sea of blue' here in CO.

Hi, TaxCloud does work with 1.5. You can easily select the states you wish to collect taxes in.
