New York economic nexus triggers when a remote seller exceeds both $500,000 in revenue AND 100 transactions from New York customers within a calendar year. Once triggered, the seller must register with the New York Department of Revenue and begin collecting and remitting sales tax.

How long do I have to register after crossing nexus in New York?
