Website isn’t charging taxes

[sassyaries10]

I live in Oregon where we have no sales taxes. I have my website set up to sell physical items, the box was never selected to not tax. I got my first two orders last night and I have to ship these to tax paying states but my website never charged them taxes. I checked out the sales tax tab and it says it’s set to automatically calculate but it still didn’t tax them. Help?

I am not an Accountant for your state, but on my website I only charge my States taxes to items I ship within my State.  You may not be required by Law to collect taxes based on where your shipping to or where the customer bought from.  Again I do not know your Tax laws for Your state.  You may want to ask your accountant if you need to collect the Sales tax based on Location of the Buyer or based on the Shipping address of the customer if they differ.   I know some states do ask businesses to collect Taxes for out of state sales.  I just am not sure how all of it works for the state and outta state taxes being collected.
