Amazon Seller Sales Tax Report: How to Find and See Your Data

Managing Amazon sales tax reporting manually is costing sellers time, accuracy, and often money.
If you’re still downloading raw reports from Seller Central, stitching them together in spreadsheets, and hoping everything balances out, you’re exposing your business to tax mistakes, compliance risks, and hours of wasted effort.

The reality is: Most sellers don’t have a reliable process for reconciling Amazon sales tax, and that creates risk.

• You might be underreporting or overpaying taxes.
• You might be misclassifying cross-border sales.
• You might not know which marketplace-collected tax amounts should go into your own filings.

And if your books don’t match your Amazon payouts and bank deposits, auditors will notice.

But here’s the good news:You don’t need to keep doing this manually. Tools like Link My Books automate Amazon sales tax tracking, reconciliation, and reporting - giving you clarity, compliance, and control in minutes per month, not hours.

What Most Amazon Sellers Get Wrong With Sales Tax Reports

Most Amazon sellers think that downloading a few reports from Seller Central and sending them to their accountant is "good enough."
It isn’t.

Here’s where things go wrong:

Amazon splits key data across multiple reports:  Tax collected, taxable sales, cross-border transactions, fees, and refunds - they all live in different files. Without an automated system, sellers are forced to patch together this data manually. Mistakes are inevitable.

Marketplace Facilitator tax confuses sellers: Amazon collects and remits sales tax in many states and countries. Sellers often include these amounts in their own tax filings by accident, triggering penalties, audits, and duplicate tax payments.

Bank reconciliation gets skipped or done wrong: If your Amazon payouts and your bank records don’t match, you’ve got a problem. Many sellers don’t reconcile properly, leaving unbalanced books and audit exposure.

Sales tax is treated as an afterthought: By the time sellers or their accountants look at tax data, the reporting window is tight. Manual methods cause delays, errors, and late filings, especially for high-volume sellers managing multiple channels.

Link My Books solves this:
✅ It syncs your Amazon transaction reports and tax data straight into Xero or QuickBooks.

✅ It separates the tax you need to report from what Amazon remits.

✅ It ensures every payout matches your bank, automatically.

✅ It helps ensure your books match your Amazon 1099-K, making year-end reconciliation simple and accurate.

How to Get Your Sales Tax Report From Amazon

1. Download the Amazon transaction report
2. Download your Marketplace Facilitator tax report
3. Download your Amazon 1099-K (for U.S. sellers)
4. Check the Amazon Seller sales report/payment reports
5. Manually compile data or automate the process

Step #1: Download Your Amazon Transaction Report

1. Go to Seller Central → Reports → Fulfillment.
2. Under Sales reports, select Amazon transaction report.

This report includes detailed records of your transactions:

• Shipping income
• Taxes collected

👉 You’ll use this report as the foundation for your sales tax reporting and reconciliation.

Step #2: Download the Marketplace Facilitator Tax Collection Report

In many states and countries, Amazon collects and remits sales tax on your behalf under Marketplace Facilitator laws. This report shows exactly:

• For which jurisdictions

👉 This is critical to avoid double-reporting taxes in your own filings.

Step #3: Download Your Amazon 1099-K (U.S. Sellers)

1. Go to Seller Central → Reports → Tax Document Library.
2. Select Form 1099-K.

The Amazon 1099-K reports your gross sales volume to the IRS.
Reconciling your Amazon Seller sales report, transaction report, and 1099-K ensures your reported figures match, reducing audit risk.

👉 Many sellers neglect this step, but mismatches here trigger IRS scrutiny.

Step #4: Download Your Amazon Seller Sales Report / Payment Reports

1. Go to Seller Central → Reports → Payments → Date Range Reports.
2. Select Summary or Transactions report.
3. Set the date range you need and download.

This is your cash reconciliation report - it shows:

👉 You’ll use this to confirm that bank deposits match your accounting records.

Step #5: Compile Data 

Download all four reports above. Consolidate them in a spreadsheet. Manually match each figure, taxable sales, tax collected, Amazon remitted tax, and bank deposits, and post them to your accounting software.

Essential Amazon Seller Sales Tax Report Data for Accurate Bookkeeping

If you want accurate books and to stay compliant, you need to track the right data from your Amazon Seller sales tax report and related reports.

Here are the key figures you need, why they matter, and where to find them:

How to Read Amazon Seller Sales Tax Report Statements

Your Amazon Seller sales tax report data isn’t all in one document - it lives across multiple reports in Seller Central. Here’s how to read and use this data correctly for:

• Accurate bookkeeping
• VAT/sales tax compliance
• Bank reconciliation
• Audit readiness

Daily Reports - Monitor Ongoing Performance

Your Amazon transaction report provides daily transaction-level data:

• Sales (item price + shipping)
• Tax collected (Marketplace Facilitator and seller-collected)
• Refunds
• Fees

Use this to:

• Monitor sales trends by country and tax type
• Track refunds and their impact on taxable revenue
• Catch any anomalies early (missing orders, unexpected tax treatment)

Yearly Reports - Reconcile Against Official Tax Filings

For U.S. sellers, your Amazon 1099-K is the official figure reported to the IRS:

•  It includes gross sales (before refunds or fees)
•  It does not split out the tax collected or remitted

For UK/EU sellers, year-end VAT reporting should match:

• Sales totals by destination country
• Tax collected by Amazon (excluded from your VAT returns)
• Non-taxable exports and OSS sales (handled via OSS return)

Cross-Checks to Perform (Critical)

Gross sales ↔ 1099-K: Your gross sales in Xero/QuickBooks (via Link My Books or manual entry) must match your Amazon 1099-K.

Net payouts ↔ Bank deposits: Your payment reports → net payout → must match the bank deposits in your accounting software.

Tax collected ↔ Marketplace Facilitator Report: Tax amounts collected by Amazon (US states / EU countries with Marketplace Facilitator rules) must:

• Be excluded from your VAT/sales tax returns
• Be reported correctly in your books (recorded as Marketplace Facilitator tax, not revenue)

Why Do You Need an Amazon Sales Tax Report

Your Amazon Seller sales tax report and related data aren’t just for filing taxes, they are essential for running a profitable, audit-ready business.
Here’s why:

Stay Compliant With Tax Laws

Amazon’s Marketplace Facilitator tax rules only cover part of your obligations.
You still need to:

• Report taxes correctly on sales where Amazon did not collect tax
• Reconcile the tax collected by Amazon so you don’t double-report it
• Track cross-border VAT and OSS obligations (critical for UK and EU sellers)

Without an accurate report, your tax returns will be wrong, and you risk audits and penalties.

Reconcile Your Books and Bank Deposits

Your Amazon transaction report, payment reports, and 1099-K must match your:

• Bank deposits
• Xero or QuickBooks ledgers

If they don’t, you’ll have unexplained gaps in your financial statements, a major red flag for tax authorities.

An accurate Amazon sales tax report ensures your books stay clean and audit-proof.

Understand True Profitability

Fees, refunds, taxes collected, all these impact your bottom line. If you rely only on gross sales figures from the Amazon 1099-K, you’ll overestimate profitability.

Tracking:

• Taxable vs non-taxable sales
• Net vs gross revenue
• Actual fees and refunds

… gives you a true picture of what you’re earning, and where your profit leaks are.

Without this clarity, sellers often scale unprofitable products unknowingly.

Link My Books automates this entire process - syncing every critical tax and revenue figure into your accounting software for Amazon sellers, so you always have an accurate view of your business

Is There an Amazon Sales Tax Report for Buyers?

Not exactly, Amazon does not provide a formal “sales tax report” for buyers.

However, buyers can view the tax paid on individual purchases:

• Order confirmation email: tax amount is listed in the order summary
• Order history → Invoice: buyers can download a PDF invoice that shows:
  
  • Item price
  • Shipping
  • Tax paid
  • Total charged

Important: This information is for personal record-keeping only; it is not an official report for business tax filing.

If you sell B2B or to VAT-registered customers:

• Some EU Amazon marketplaces provide VAT invoices to buyers, but this depends on whether you are VAT-registered and if Amazon or you (the seller) issues the invoice.

For sellers: You must still use your Amazon transaction report and Marketplace Facilitator data to report taxes properly - buyer-facing invoices do not replace your own reporting obligations.

• For many states in 2024-2025: $600 in gross sales triggers 1099-K reporting.
