Explanation

This indicates that you tried to use a Registrar or Onboarding API to create an account, but the account already exists.

In AvaTax, a user is uniquely identified by their email address. The same email address cannot belong to two separate accounts.

Next steps:

  • This user may have created a free trial account in the past.
  • The user may have mistyped an email address.
  • If the user is incorrectly attached to a different account, they should request their account be updated through support.
