There is no state list, because there are no state forms

Dealers ask us which states we support, meaning: does it have my state's forms, my state's tax rules, my state's title paperwork built in? The answer is no state, and it is worth a page because the question is a good one. freeDMS ships no state forms for Texas, none for Ohio, none for anywhere. Here is what that actually means for running a store on it.

What "state support" usually means, and where each piece stands

• State forms libraries. The big systems carry drawers of pre-built state paperwork — buyers orders, title applications, odometer statements, state-specific disclosures. freeDMS has none of them. What it has is a deal jacket that files documents by type (ID, insurance, title, registration, signed forms), so your state's forms can live in the deal as documents — but you bring the forms. The one form the jacket generates is the used-car Buyers Guide, which is a federal form, not a state one.
• Tax. The system does not know your state's rate or rules. You set three numbers in your workspace settings: your tax rate, whether tax applies to the trade difference, and your doc fee. Every pencil in the store then runs on the numbers you entered. Set them wrong and the pencils are wrong — the checking is yours.
• Title and registration work. There is no state submission, no title status tracking, nothing electronic to any state office. The paperwork guide on this site covers the jacket in detail; the short version is filing, not filing with the state.

So which dealers does this fit

• A dealer in any state whose state paperwork is already handled — your forms live in your process, your bookkeeper keeps the tax settings straight, and what you need from the software is the inventory, the deals, the books, and a place the paperwork collects. For that dealer the state question dissolves: there is nothing state-shaped in the way.
• A dealer whose state paperwork is the product — heavy state forms, state-calculated taxes, electronic title work — is buying exactly the thing freeDMS does not have. The franchise systems charge what they charge partly for those libraries, and for once the money buys something real. Keep paying it until a free system carries your state, and check back; a states list, if one ever exists, will be published on this page as a list, with the states named.

One more thing, because it cuts both ways

Software that ships your state's forms is also software that can ship them wrong, or ship last year's. Our terms say the legal sufficiency of forms is the dealer's responsibility, which sounds like a dodge until you notice it is true of every system on the market — the dealer signs the paperwork, the dealer answers for it. We would rather say it on a page built for the question than in the fine print alone.
