### "I would give them minus stars on customer service. Their email doesn't work and no one return calls"

May 17, 2018

1.0

Pros

They provide free service & filings for member states if you register with the SST as a model 1 filer. You also limit your choices if you choose to back away from them.

Cons

1\. Can't communicate with them. Changed pricing structure, yet they over charged and there is no one to communicate to and email bounces back. 2. They don't provide any assistance on setting up Tax Categories. The definitions are theirs, yet they provide no support. Avoid using them unless you have a strong IT team and will take risks

We apologize for the difficulty in getting to our service desk recently. The release of our new UI and a new pricing change has created a large volume of calls. As we are the service provider that can offer a FREE service, we don't have a large number of resources available to deal with surging call volumes. Rest assured, we will respond and deal with any issues you are experiencing.

### "Easy to use "

May 2, 2023

5.0

Taxcloud allows our US-based clients to accurately calculate tax on orders taken online via the websites we create for them. We have used Taxcloud for many years.

Pros

Integration via the API is straightforward, even more so using the Wordpress plugin.

Cons

Initial setup of nexus states and business information with authorisation can be a bit lengthy.

### "Sales department was enthusiastic. Software integrated well. Problems caused mayhem with no fix."

June 12, 2018

4.0

The software took a time burden from my shoulders.

Pros

Mostly the software runs seamlessly once it is set up correctly. Helps avoid expensive business costs.

Cons

When there are issues with accounts that need attention the customer support is not there. Trying to get things back on track is not being addressed for their end. While TaxCloud claims to be easy it becomes difficult and frustrating to make corrections. I will consider a different Tax integration system.

Thanks for the review. Glad to see the positive ratings on overall quality, ease of use and Features/functionality. We apologize that our customer support has let you down. We do our best with limited resources trying to maintain our FREE service offer for small businesses. We do our best to respond to all inquiries within 24 hours and have plans to invest in additional support resources in the near future.

Cons

Does not work for split rate calculation for Florida precious metalsCharge for use even though they never got the software to work

### "Rip off"

February 24, 2021

1.0

Terrible

Pros

I have nothing good to say about this company

Cons

Scammers taking money with no reimbursement

Review Source

Response from TaxCloud

March 3, 2021

Hi Melissa - We'd like to add some facts to the record of your review. 1.) You opened your account and went live in June 2020. Our trial period is for 30 days, it's not indefinite. You had one transaction in Aug, Sep, Dec and Jan. 2 transactions in Feb. 2.) The $100 fee was because your credit card was rejected, which does cost us money to correct, hence the fee. 3.) Upon going live, our base fee for API calls 0 to 1000 is $30 per month. It doesn't make a difference if you do 1 or 999, it's $30. Our pricing is transparently described on our website at https://taxcloud.com/pricing. 4.) You selected our state subsidized service where you collect in all 25 of our member states. If you only wanted to collect in the state(s) you need to collect in you should have selected our other service option. 5.) Your account has been deactivated. Your conclusions and name calling run counter to the facts and are based on you not understanding our service and pricing. Best of luck in the future.

### "Inexpensive and works well. Straightforward implementation. Looking forward to new marketplace apps"

November 7, 2017

4.0

Pros

It's potentially free, and easy to implement with many e-commerce platforms and marketplaces. They're about to launch a new UI, along with new marketplace mobile apps, using Polymer Web Components. That should allow me to have all my sales channels centralized in one place, which will be great.

Cons

I have to file in all 24 streamlined states in I want to use TaxCloud for free, though I admit that that point might become irrelevant in 2018 with all the regulatory changes.

### "Sales Tax Remittance Made Easy"

May 2, 2023

5.0

TaxCloud served all my filing needs for my business in a manner that was easy to use.

Pros

TaxCloud is the one-in-all solution for managing my sales tax with states in which I do online business. It's easy and affordable.

Cons

I had two issues where I received letters from states on fees they said I owed on filings I did not complete. Tax cloud was able to resolve both issues.

Reason for choosing TaxCloud

Tax was was the least expensive solution for colleting Sales Tax.

### "Simply helps to keep track of sales taxes for internet transactions."

February 5, 2019

4.0

TaxCloud seems to have been improved significantly with a better UI. It is much simpler to use. It saves a lot of time and effort, and is a necessary service to those of us growing online sales in multiple states.

Pros

The free version is very useful. I think many will upgrade to the full version in time. From what I can tell, it is the best value.

Cons

None really. Can't complain at a free service and it was easier to set up that I anticipated.

### "Buyer beware"

January 19, 2021

3.0

Support is non-existent. Used to have a chat feature, but it is gone. There is no phone number to call, so you can only submit a "support" ticket. However, you never get a response to the ticket. The website recently changed and I have uploaded transactions within the deadline. However, my transactions are not showing up and I cannot get any help from Tax Cloud, so I am unsure if the taxes will be paid on time. Customer service definitely needs lots of improvement.

Pros

The software itself is relatively good. We upload our transactions on a monthly basis rather than using the live feed. It has been working great until recently.

Cons

Difficult to determine if uploads have been received at Tax Cloud.

Hi Jan - Sorry for your experience. Our support phone line is 877-TAXCLOUD and chat is indeed back. It was done for a bit when we introduced the new website. I'll make sure someone reaches out to you.

### "This is very easy to use"

March 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

The best is it is up to date in all city and local taxes that can change in an instance. We saved some money from a local tax that had expired.

Cons

Well, it is something that you could probably get through local and state offices , but if you do enough business it is almost free.

### "Very decent service"

January 19, 2019

4.0

Pros

Very good value, nice customer rep's service

Cons

They charge you for some problem that sometimes happens with your shopping cart if it sends too many signals - called duplicates.

Review Source

Response from TaxCloud

May 14, 2019

Hi Carol - Thanks for the review. We do charge for Duplicate API calls. These are redundant sales tax lookups on the same items in the shopping cart. These unnecessarily use platform resources and can easily be corrected by your software developer. We charge for them to change behavior (fix your implementation), not to make money.

### "Good"

May 18, 2023

5.0

Pros

We integrated TaxCloud with our ERP and have never had to be concerned with sales tax again - as long as you keep the states updated it is pretty hands off.

Cons

Sometimes with the integration with our ERP we have noticed conflicting sales taxes

### "Terrible Customer Service"

June 20, 2018

2.0

None

Pros

It has a free and paid option. This seemed great since similar services charged a much higher monthly or yearly fee.

Cons

Zero customer support and their website doesn't work. Called several times and submitted a ticket, which we followed up with several times and it still took 10 business days to receive a response. Unacceptable when you need to get your online store up and running and it will only calculate a few of the states.

Review Source

Response from TaxCloud

June 20, 2018

As we have stated in prior reviews on customer service, we are the FREE option and as sxuch don't have unlimited resources. We had a UI update and a price change simultaneously which caused our response times to trouble tickets to outpace our ability to respond as quickly as we'd like over the past 6 weeks. For this we apologize, and we're working to improve here. The comment that we only calculate sales tax in a few states is patently false. We calculate in all 50 states at every address in the US. As a Streamlined Certified Service Provider we are audited regularly and if this claim were the case we'd be de-certified. Lastly, I'd add that this company name is not listed as having an account with TaxCloud...so take it for what it's worth.

### "Does what it says"

May 25, 2021

4.0

TaxCloud is hard to compare with competitors because I've only ever used them. In my limited experience with TaxCloud I didn't notice anything to be missing that I needed.

Pros

Has a fair number of integrations where tax setup is turnkey. Setup the integration once and everything is generally easy

Cons

Can get fairly expensive for smaller operations. You'll generally know if you need software for this

### "Hidden fees, stay away from this scam."

Pros

We only used the trial as we were setting things up.

### "Great value"

May 15, 2023

5.0

Pros

I switched our company over from another tax service because that tax service was getting way too expensive for Filings. TAX cloud has given me what I needed at a great price.

Cons

User interface could use some more options

### "Automatic filing and period!"

December 10, 2018

3.0

Very poor to bad experience is all I can say about this software.

Pros

The software is capable of automagically calculating sales tax and even assists in filing them directly.

Cons

But the amount of flexibility the software offers in terms of variable rate taxes is very minimal. Also there is no easy way to include county and local taxes.

Review Source

Response from TaxCloud

May 14, 2019

Not sure what you are speaking of. We calculate sales tax at every jurisdictional level for every address in the US. This would include state. county, city and parish in LA.

September 21, 2017

5.0

peace of mind, quality accurate help

Pros

I love that this software makes taxes so easy for me. I usually hate doing this and it pretty much is set up to automatically just calculate what is needed. I love it.

Cons

There is really nothing I dislike about this software. It is very easy to use and is very quality and accurate

### "Attempting to terminate service agreement with taxcloud"

April 24, 2019

3.0

The TaxCloud Terms of Servce Agreement states that in order to terminate that agreement, 'Merchant must log into the TaxCloud Merchant Interface, and click the “Close Account” button.' I have consumed several hours looking for that button with no luck. If anyone knows where it is, I would appreciate your input.

Pros

It appears to be better than most as far as a learning curve. I did not use it as too much, as I have decided to retire rather than go through this online sales tax situation.

Cons

I've spent quite a lot of time attempting to contact someone to talk to with no luck.
