This article explains what tax filing reports are in Swap, what each column means, and how to use filters to track your filings.


What is a tax filing report?

When you use Swap for Tax Compliance, Swap files sales tax returns on your behalf. The tax filing reports view gives you a single, always-up-to-date record of every return Swap has submitted — including its status, the filing period, the tax amount remitted, and key reference IDs.

To access tax filing reports, go to Global → Tax Reports in your Swap Dashboard. The page opens on All filings for the current year.

  • Status — isolate Upcoming, Overdue, or Completed filings.


Exporting filing data
