# Adds tracking for which tax provider resolved a Customer location

## What’s new

Adds the [tax.provider](https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/object.md?api-version=2025-10-29.preview#customer_object-tax-provider) field to [Customers](https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/object.md?api-version=2025-10-29.preview) to identify which tax provider Stripe used to resolve locations.

## Impact

You can now use the `provider` field to identify whether you used Stripe or a [third-party tax provider](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/third-party-apps.md) to validate a customer address.
