Discounts

[Eve2019]

I'm invoicing a customer and I want to give him a discount on one item. The item is worth $200 but I'm giving him a discount of $100.  The item is taxable. Should I change the tax code in quickbooks for the discount to non taxable or taxable. 

Thank you

Glad to have you back here, Eve2019.

You'll want to reach out to your accountant to check if this discount is taxable or not.

Though, I can guide you on how to change the code. Here's how:

1. Open or create an invoice.
2. On the TAX column, click on the drop-down arrow for that specific item to change the code.
3. Click Save & Close.

Don't hesitate to post again in the Community if you need more help.

Yes, thank you. I have change the tax code before. I just wanted to know if discounts should be tax or non tax.
