This is a common question on the forum. No, BrickOwl does not collect sales tax on behalf of USA sellers.
You will need to set up your own tax tables, which can be done in your store's settings here: My Store/Settings/Tax
The taxes already set up for your store are for if you want to sell internationally. US taxes are set up by zip code. Some stores will only have a few; other stores could have dozens, depending on your state's tax law.
Once you have your tax rates set up, any orders that have a tax associated with them will have a separate line for the amount of tax you collected. This information is also available in the orders download file to can export at any time. You'll need to pay those taxes back to your state per your state's tax law.
Sales tax is a bit more complex than the above implies... you only have to collect sales taxes for outside your state/county/city IF you cross a state's interstate tax boundary (e.g., some states require out-of-state sellers to collect/remit their tax is you do more than 200 orders/year or a certain amount of sales in that state).
