How Far Back Can a Sales Tax Audit Go? (Unfiled Returns Explained)

For 1-on-1 sales tax help, contact our team here: https://handsoffsalestax.com/contact/ Most online sellers assume a state can only look back a few years for unpaid sales tax, but for businesses that never filed a return, the clock may never start. In this video we unpack how the statute of limitations really works, why physical presence and economic nexus can trigger sales tax registration in states you've never stepped foot in, and how marketplace and Shopify sales quietly create liability. We also cover unremitted sales tax, the penalties and interest that accumulate, and the proactive steps toward full sales tax compliance before a state audit finds you first.
