I know of 2 tax solutions.. One is CCH which is where you purchase a database of tax tables and the other is BillSoft which is where you purchase a software suite that has a tax database and processes your cdrs and whatnot.<br>
<br>CCH is more expensive up front and just gives you the tax data.. It is up to you to file with all the jurisdictions that you tax.. Billsoft is a service with a monthly fee and is more of a I pay you to take care of the tax stuff for me.<br>
<br>Google each company..<br><br>Also, I'd recommend you talk to a telecom attorney about all the intricate legalities of voip taxation.<br><br>-- <br>Jarrod Lash, <<a href="mailto:jarrod@fed-com.com">jarrod@fed-com.com</a>><br>

She has to research it (not something she deals with everyday) . I just thought I would check the list to get other's experiences to help her along.<br>
<br>The second part of my question was billing software. What is everyone using to manage US Taxes? <br>
<br>I am only dealing with customers within the continental US.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 10:25 AM, Chris Bagnall <span dir="ltr"><lists@minotaur.cc></span> wrote:<br>

</div>At the risk of sounding unhelpful, these are probably questions you should be asking your accountant.<br>

If you are looking for help on this list, it might be useful to post where your clients are based in the world, as taxes are vastly different from country to country.<br>
