Hello, Tjguthro. To change your tax rate, go to All Apps > Sales Tax > Manage Sales Tax and select the 5% tax rate to edit. If you're unable to change the existing rate, you may need to create a new 6% rate and make the old one inactive for future transactions.
For further details, you can refer to this article: Edit sales tax rates.
If you use Automated Sales Tax, QuickBooks updates rates automatically based on the location. You don't need to adjust the percentage manually.
