Do I have to file monthly/quarterly sales tax returns even in months I don’t sell?
Many states require zero returns to keep your account in good standing.
The Narrative
The Empathy
Filing when you had no sales feels pointless, but missing a return can trigger penalties or notices.
The Education
Sales tax accounts often stay active until you close them. Many states require you to file a zero return for periods with no sales. Skipping the filing can lead to late fees or automatic estimates.
The Solution
Mark your filing dates on a calendar and submit a zero return when needed. If you stop selling for a long period, consider closing the account with the tax agency. Staying current avoids unnecessary penalties.
