To address a couple of concerns raised here.

There is a Small Seller Exemption. If you have less than $1,000,000 in remote sales during the preceding calendar year you are exempt from collection.

There are six certified service providers, including one free one, which can be used to calculate the required sales tax. The states certify these providers and agree to indemnify users against liability if the case of an error by the service provider.

Before a state can require collection they must change their code to be in compliance with the requirements of the Marketplace Fairness Act. Currently 24 states are compliant and could begin requiring collection if the bill passes.
