Ya, but that's for over $250K in sales within the state. That applies to very few people. Going for the big boys.
A lot of states passed thresholds higher than 200 sales and 100k because they weren’t sure it would be struck down in the courts. However now that Bellas Hess and Quill has been struck down and 200 transactions has been approved there is no way states are going to set high thresholds going forward.
Even if you do have under 200 transactions in a state it doesn’t mean you won’t be in the clear.
Vermont has a one transaction threshold for use tax notification. So if you sold one item to VT you need to comply with their law.
Reporting Requirements For Noncollecting Vendors | Department of Taxes
The penalty is $5.00 for each customer not notified at checkout if you don’t remit sales tax. Getting an ecommerce site where you can customize your checkout is more important than ever to comply with these requirements. Keep in mind VT doesn’t require that you send first class mail to each customer notifying them of this unlike states such as PA, OK, and WA.
The state of Alabama passed legislation authorizing the department of revenue to require remote sellers follow use tax guidelines that they make.

We should see guidelines from AL coming out soon. I can guarantee you it’ll be a lot lower than 250k.
