The barriers to doing business across state lines have significantly decreased in recent years. This creates issues for taxpayers and their preparers in determining where and when they have nexus in a state.
This CPE self-study course covers the various ways states define and enforce nexus, including whether your company or client has nexus in a state, thus requiring the filing of either state income tax or sales tax returns.
This course also looks at the impact of the Wayfair case and its applications.
