🏛️ MOA Sales Tax Submission | Training

1A

Pull Metrc Sales Report

Go to metrc.com and login
Navigate to Reports → Monthly Sales
Set START date to 1st of filing month (e.g., 03/01/2026)
Set END date to last day of filing month (e.g., 03/31/2026)

⚠️ CRITICAL: You MUST check the "Include Finalized and Completed Sales" checkbox! Without this, your report will be incomplete and your tax submission will be WRONG.

📊 The Metrc report will show sales broken down by category (Bud/Flower, Immature Bud, Concentrates, etc.) — you'll need these numbers for the Tax Return

Download the fillable tax return form:

📄 Open Fillable Tax Return (PDF) → 🌐 MOA Tax Portal

Fill out all highlighted portions of the form:
