The correct answer is that a seller with sales between $1,000 and $1,500 per year must file sales tax on a quarterly basis. In Texas, businesses are categorized based on their sales volume to determine their filing frequency for sales tax.

For businesses with total sales tax collected in a range that exceeds specific thresholds, quarterly filing is mandated. In this case, those who qualify for quarterly filing typically have annual sales tax collections that fall below a certain amount, but above the thresholds for less frequent filing options such as annual or bi-annual.

Annual and bi-annual filing are reserved for either much smaller businesses with very minimal tax liability or those that have a very limited sales volume. Monthly filing is for businesses that exceed higher sales thresholds and generate more tax revenue. Thus, for a seller earning between $1,000 and $1,500 in sales tax, filing quarterly aligns with Texas state regulations regarding sales tax collection and submission timelines.
