GIDW membership - sales taxes?
I know none of y'all are probably tax pros, but I'm curious...do any of you live in Tennessee? I've been putting everything together for my membership, and I'm pretty sure it qualifies as a "live online course" under TN definitions rather than a "specified digital product," which would mean I don't have to collect sales tax for it. but wondered if anyone else is already in business in this state and knows for sure. My membership just gives them access to a private Discord coworking server, so not unlike access to a FB group, except anyone can be logged into the server and streaming at any time. The charge isn't for the software itself (their Discord membership is free unless they're paying Discord for something directly), so I don't think it falls under the state's requirement to charge for SaaS, either. I'm going to have to get a sales tax number eventually (once I start selling online courses) but up until now all the digital or physical products I've sold have been fulfilled by Etsy & Amazon, who do sales tax collection & remittance on sellers' behalf. ETA: Here's the link to my sales page. I'm excited to get this launched, so I set it up with Paypal payment only, and just checked "tax is included in price" so that I can clean it up manually later if I'm wrong about what classification it falls under. Done is better than perfect, right? 😅
