SALES TAXES in California (Quartly)
Hello, dear Amazon seller community, I reside in Los Angeles, California, and I am a new seller on Amazon. Do I need to pay sales tax in California? The CPA informed me that I may be required to pay, depending on my sales volume. Some vendors claim that they do not pay taxes since Amazon collects them on their behalf. A few months ago, I paid more than thousand in sales taxes for a month (according to my CPA).
What are the taxes the sellers need to pay in California?
Please provide advice.

You will almost certainly need to file a tax report.
You will report all income -- and then on a later screen subtract out the sales that were taxed through Marketplace Facilitator (there will be a drop down menu with that choice)
Amazon collects and remits all sales tax for any orders where it applies.

Hello @Seller_UtfCrYYGjsAuU
Thank you for posting your inquiry to the Forums.
@Seller_Hi7wbO2Kbo6bl is correct, you are responsible for identifying your Tax obligations in addition to the calculation, remittance, and reporting of all taxes within your obligation, regardless of your participation in Amazon’s Tax Calculation Service. I have included some help pages below that provide additional detail on tax policies for your reference:
