California sales tax filing for Shopify sellers

Preparation tool, not tax advice. StateSheet organizes the numbers from your own exports. We don't file or pay anything for you, and we're not tax advisors. Check every figure before you file.

Start with the official source

Registration rules, rates, filing frequency, and due dates for California come from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA). Check there first. Rules change, and your filing frequency is assigned when you register.

Pull your California numbers from Shopify

  1. In Shopify admin, open Analytics → Reports and use the sales or taxes reports, or export orders from Orders → Export, for the filing period.
  2. Filter to orders shipping to California.
  3. Total the gross sales, the taxable sales, and the tax you collected.

Let StateSheet do the sorting

Upload the same CSV to StateSheet. It totals sales for each state, tracks the due dates you enter for each state, sends reminders, and prints a worksheet for each state. You still file with California yourself.
