Do I have a collection responsibility in other states?
After South Dakota v. Wayfair, if you are making sales of property or services into other states, you may have an obligation to collect and remit those states’ sales taxes. If you are licensed to collect and remit tax in Nebraska, you should continue doing so. You can obtain information on the licensing requirements for other states at: taxadmin.org. You can register with 23 other states using the Streamlined Sales Tax Registration System (SSTRS) registration form, which is available at: sstregister.org.
