Where can I find a report that show all states taxes paid and my state taxes paid

[dptedora]

Where can I find a report that show all states taxes paid and my state taxes paid. I used it before but can not find it now. I tried all the reports under payments, performance and sale report plus.

I assume that you mean sales tax. Since eBay collects the sales tax from your customers and distributes it to their states, I'm not sure what you need a report for.  What am I missing?

[farmalljr]

A seller is required to report the sales taxes collected and remitted, on their taxes. Even if YOU did not collect it, you are still required to report it. 

@dptedora  You can run a monthly sales report. Sales taxes have their own line item. It will not break down sales tax by state, just an overall sales tax collected.

I'm not sure that ebay puts out a comprehensive report - for sellers - of the tax collected and paid to individual states.  One of those 'need to know basis' things, I would guess.

Seller Hub -> Payments Tab -> Reports

Run a Transaction Report, it will give you the totals of eBay collected Sales Tax and you can sort it by State.

Thank you.  I was thinking of all sales tax, not just for sales by a particular seller.

I keep a spreadsheet of all transactions and include the state and sales tax 

When tax time comes I just use a function to add up all tax in my state 

Yes it is extra bookwork but just a little time helps in the end

eBay sellers do not collect and/or remit any of the state sales taxes collected by eBay - eBay does.

The only thing sellers get to do is get charged a FVF  on the  sales tax eBay's money processor collects. - the added selling cost  allow the sellers to  claim a bit extra in the cost of sales on their income tax forms.

In California I still have to report sales tax and amount then specify it was eBay 

So knowing the exact amount and keeping track to make sure eBay has the correct numbers is very important

Even though EBAY collects "sales tax" for you....you still have to file "sales tax" report with your state.   You would indicate TOTAL SALES for "your state" (and sales "outside your state").     Then you designate EBAY as faciliator...so zero "sales tax" is due.

EBAY is sending "sales tax" money to your "state tax board" under your social security#.    This may trigger an tax audit if you don't file necessary "sales tax" forms.

I'm very skeptical that eBay reports the individual information for the millions of sellers they collect tax for. Keep in mind that would also include sellers located in any and every country that sells to US Buyers. They could report that information IF they were specifically requested to do so but as a matter of course I really doubt it.

I use GoDaddy bookkeeping service (can sort sales by state).   Only costs $119/year but has great reporting and can save you headaches at tax time.

Keep your own records and I know that sounds old school but how else can you make sure your nubers are correct? 

There are many 3rd party tools like others have suggested, Godaddy, QuikBooks etc. 

I use my own program I made and it has served me well

Bottom line is make sure you are recording everything and keeping records in case Uncle Sam comes knocking

You can run a report in Seller Hub that shows what sales tax they have "collected" on behalf of yours orders.  We keep a report in quick books by state.

There is no sales tax "remittance" report I can ever find. 

We too are required under our TIN to file annually what "we" have collected and remitted.  As we use e-Bay and Amazon, we certify zero now - we are neither collecting or remitting sales/local taxes per our CPA.

I would still suggest that all keep their own records to reconcile with the platform they are selling on

The platform could be right or wrong
