State customer service phone numbers can be hard to find, and then callers can be directed through a maze of options before getting your answer. Further, many states either don’t communicate sales tax info by email, or have very long reply times, which isn’t helpful when you need an answer right now. (If you’d rather email, though, you can find a list of state department of revenue emails here .)
To make your life a little easier when calling your state’s taxing authority, we put together this list. Find the state you need to call below and follow the steps to get to an actual helpful human who can answer your sales tax questions.
