I have been discussing the sale of a desktop product (developed with LC,

There is no sales tax charged for any online sales in the US except for
sales to customers located within a state where the vendor has a
physical office or point of sale. Your stateside partner probably knows
this already. As far as software with no physical delivery goes, it
could be considered several different ways which will vary from state to
state but again you are only concerned with how the state where he is
qualifies it. Ask your partner to contact the revenue department of the
state in which he resides and ask them how to proceed. That would be the
only state where you have any possible obligation and even then,
depending on how your partnership/company is structured and how they
consider this kind of product, you might not have any at all.
