Why are all deductions listed as resale on my returns?

Overview

You're reviewing your returns and have found that all deductions, nontaxable and exemption sales, are listed as resale.

Environment

Avalara Returns

Resolution

• Due to how the exemption detail report is transcribed to the return, all deductions are grouped together as resale by default.

• If you would like certain deductions listed on a separate line, please contact support to add a permanent notation to your filing calendar.

  • This will require very specific information from the exemption detail report such as tax code description, exemption type and deduction type.

  • Also include the following:

    • Specific form line number and description

    • State

    • Form Number

  • The notation request should look similar to:

    • Please list all nontaxable sales deductions from the tax code description Food and Food Ingredients on line 5, sales of tax-exempt grocery store foods, on my Kentucky KY51A103 returns for all future periods.
