If a state such as California has an economic nexus rule of $500 thousand of sales, method of delivery is not a factor.
Sales of over $500 thousand = nexus and a return is required. However if your only connection to the state is the sale of tangible personal property, you have nexus but are exempt from tax on net income under public law 86-272 (Federal Law). You will however have to pay the minimum tax.
For more information on this topic: I am speaking Jan 17 at a NCCPAP evening seminar. Location to be determined.

I'm trying to find out if a State is using $500K of sales coming into their state as a guideline are they not caring anymore about "Common Carriers"??
