Avalara Address Validation

Hey Guys,

I actually managed to get a response from Avalara. There is actually a Jurisdiction Override in the Avalara Advanced settings. These are the steps I received:

  1. In AvaTax, go to Settings > All AvaTax Settings.
  2. Next to Advanced Account Settings, select Manage.
  3. Under Jurisdiction Overrides, select Manage Jurisdiction Overrides.
  4. Select Add a Jurisdiction Override.
  5. Fill out the information for the override.
  6. Enter an override a name that’s easy to remember.
  7. Select an effective date to tell AvaTax when to start applying the override.
  8. Decide if the override should apply to a zip code or a specific address.
  9. Enter the zip code or the address and select Save.
  10. Select the jurisdictions you want to use.
  11. Select Save Override.

Apparently the main concern with this is that creating a Jurisdiction Override might affect your company’s tax compliance, which would be an issue if you assigned the wrong jurisdiction.
Anyway I hope this helps some of you out.
