Vendor set up

Hello Fort Man,

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community. I'll be happy to assist so you can continue to manage your accounting with peace of mind. 

The program provides you the flexibility that allows you to use the Vendor function without setting up the sales tax agency. However, in case you need to set up the taxes or if the program requires you to set them up at some point, I encourage you to check out this article that shows you: How to set up sales tax in QuickBooks Desktop. 

Let me know if the info above helps. I'll be a message away in case you have other questions.
