Hello Everyone please note this problem I found and solved, maybe it will save some others a little headache,
I noticed that taxjar was not collecting tax in a state I had it set to collect in. Taxjar let me know that you have to log into your taxjar account, navigate to the state and click on the wrench icon, then make sure to select, SmartCalcs API will return sales tax amounts to collect for this state, under the "Calculate Sales Tax in This State" area.
