Add, edit, or deactivate a location

A location is a physical place of business. Some jurisdictions require tax to be reported at the location level.

Before adding a location in Sovos Filing, you must first add a return related to the location in State and Local Returns.

Add a location (non-Colorado)

1. Go to Settings > Locations, then click Add.
   
   
   
   
2. Fill in the following information:
   • Legal Entity: The legal entity for this location.
   • Location Code: A code created by your organization to identify a location that you sell goods or services to or from.
   • Return: The return related to the location.
   
   
   
   
3. After you select a return, more location fields will appear. Fill in the location information.
4. Click Save.

Deactivate a location

1. Go to Settings > Locations and select the box next to the location or locations you want to deactivate, then click the Deactivate button.
