If you are a remote seller of taxable goods you must remit use tax notification reports to customers and, in some cases, to state Departments of Revenue in several states.
The exact imposition thresholds and notice requirements vary by state. However, the imposition thresholds range from $10,000 to $100,000 of prior year sales and the notices generally must include the name and address of the consumer, a notice that they may owe use tax on their purchases, and a listing of purchases including dollar amounts. In addition, a number of states impose penalties for noncompliance (e.g., $10,000 or, if more, $10 for each notice not sent to a customer).

Below is a list of the use tax report filing deadlines for the states that currently require such reporting:
