I changed the percentage on a county tax, and now the county shows inactive. I did not do anything but change the percent by .25%.
Hello there, @Dusty17.
If you adjust the percentage on a county tax, it will become inactive. You will need to create a new tax to replace the inactive one if there are changes that need to be made.

Thank you for your response.
I cleared the cache, and it did help solve the issue of the sales tax totals, but the county still shows inactive when I run a Sales Tax Liability Report. I was going to make a "new" county, to replace the inactive one, and will have to change all of my customers to the new county, but I am hoping there is a quick fix so that I don't have to do all of the work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, I've tried the steps to re-activate a tax rate but I am not seeing any deactivated rates displaying after selecting the show inactive rates?
I have tax rates that are not active which I want to re-activate as these were deactivated in error when trying to set up automated tax. see attached.
Thanks for updating this thread, @RainD.
I'm joining in the conversation to share some insights about this tax rate concern.
If you previously deactivated a tax rate under the Custom rates section of you sales tax settings, this cannot be undone. The system can only reactivate inactive tax agencies for now.
You will need to add a new tax rate for a certain state or country to use it again for your sales entries. Click the Add rate option to re-enter the tax rate details. Also, it looks like the screenshot you share did not post, so if you can share it again, it will be greatly appreciated.
