When you must register

When registration is required in Nevada

Nevada requires registration once you cross $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions, measured over previous or current calendar year. Nevada still counts transactions: crossing 200 transactions creates nexus even on modest revenue.

Physical presence registers you regardless of sales. Physical presence including offices, employees, or inventory stored in Nevada warehouses (e.g., Amazon FBA fulfillment centers) creates physical nexus immediately.

The marketplace nuance most sellers miss

If you sell only through a marketplace like Amazon or Etsy, the marketplace facilitator generally collects and remits Nevada tax for you, so you may not need your own permit. But those facilitated sales still count toward your threshold — so direct sales (your own Shopify/WooCommerce store) can still push you over.

How to register in Nevada

Register through My Nevada Tax; the fee is $15. Nevada is a full member of the Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) program since April 1, 2008.

Don't over-register

Most over-registered sellers signed up defensively across many states after 2018. If you're under Nevada's threshold with no physical presence, registering early just creates a recurring zero-dollar return. Register when you truly must — and track the states where you can stop.

Where TrailingZero fits

TrailingZero connects to your store read-only, maps where you actually have nexus state by state, and flags when you genuinely cross Nevada's threshold — and where you've already dropped below and can deregister. During any wind-down it can file the zero-dollar returns so nothing lapses — and you only pay for the states you genuinely keep. Run a free audit anytime; this page is free education either way.
