What are state voluntary disclosure programs and should my foreign-owned LLC use one?
I've been selling online in the U.S. for three years through my Wyoming LLC without collecting sales tax in any state. I'm a non-resident alien from France. I recently learned about economic nexus and realized I probably should have been collecting sales tax in several states. What are my options? I heard about voluntary disclosure programs. How do they work?
