📋 Direct Answer
Most US states use $100,000 in sales OR 200 transactions as the economic nexus threshold. However, some states differ: California, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Illinois use $500,000+ thresholds. Some states count only sales, not transactions. Check each state individually — thresholds change annually. The standard: $100K sales or 200 transactions applies in 35+ states. Timeline: varies by state; some require registration within 30 days of exceeding.
