Multi-state nexus for remote teams.

Nexus is the technical term for the connection between a business and a tax jurisdiction that triggers filing requirements. It used to require physical presence; it now also includes economic thresholds (sales-tax post-Wayfair, and state income-tax in some states). For payroll: any state where you have an employee working — even a remote one — creates payroll-tax registration and filing obligations. For income tax: most states use the employee as a factor in their nexus tests, which means the company itself may owe state income tax in that state. For sales tax: the employee in that state can also create sales-tax nexus if the company sells into that state, on top of economic-presence thresholds. Practical implications: before you hire in a new state, the registration footprint costs setup and ongoing filing fees. Some states (California, New York, New Jersey) impose minimum taxes on businesses regardless of profitability. We track the multi-state footprint, register where required, and file the resulting returns. We will tell you in advance when a hire is going to materially change your tax surface area.
