US-based Pro subscribers who are required to collect state or local sales tax can include sales tax in their print orders and wrap it into the order total.
Our sales tax tool allows you to choose a state, a tax rate, and specify whether digital content and shipping should be taxed. When you use this tool, any orders shipped to the state you specify will have the applicable sales tax included in the shopping cart.
SmugMug will remit the collected tax to you via direct deposit to your bank account a few times during the year, separate from your profit payment.
Please note that SmugMug does NOT assume responsibility for the management of sales tax that you collect. For our full disclaimer and terms, see below. You must accept these terms in your Control Panel in order to use this feature.

How it works
Visit the Pro tab in your Control Panel. You'll see your Sales Tax Tool information right here, which you can click to edit.
Note: You must have a valid W9 on file with us before you can collect sales tax. More info.
On the following page, click the check box at the top to first enable sales tax collection. Then simply indicate your state and fill out the percent sales tax rate you'd like to collect.
You can opt to tax not only print sales, but for shipping fees and digital download orders, too. Again, please check with your local tax authorities for details on where and when this is required.
Keeping track
You can view a summary of the sales tax that you've collected right in your Sales History. The general overview on the right will display the amount of tax that we've collected since we last deposited collected tax in your bank account, as well as the overall total that you've accrued.
To view the exact tax amounts for a specific sale, just click order details to Review the order.
Can you tell me whether I should be collecting tax, and how much?
Please consult your state's taxing authority, or your own personal tax advisor.
