We are selling solar products, which I understand some states don't require sales tax to be collected on solar products. I'm looking to get some clarification on that, and also find out if there is an easy spreadsheet available to find out what each states requirements might be. Also, if we don't anticipate sales over their threshold, but keep track of it, do we need to register from the first dollar, or wait to register if we go over their threshold amount? Thank you! We only have one location here in Mississippi, but sell to USA only states online.

Thank you for your question. Businesses become liable to collect and remit sales tax when they trigger either physical or economic nexus in a state. By selling into different states, it's possible to trigger economic nexus if your sales pass the state-specific thresholds.
Regarding taxability of certain products by state (e.g. solar products), tools like Avalara Tax Research may be able to help.
