I know this was a couple of years ago, but I came across this thread when I was looking for an answer to this myself: I calculated the discount myself and then entered it as a flat-rate negative amount. "Client discount, -$514." Checked the tax button and it calculated the amount of tax to take off and I was left with the total that I wanted to bill the client. Hope that helps.
