On August 11, 2025, between 11am and 2:30pm PDT, a system issue may have impacted sales tax calculations on transactions in your account. If you have sales tax turned on, it’s possible that sales tax wasn’t included for transactions created or modified in that timeframe. This includes invoices, sales receipts, estimates, project estimates, credit memos, or refund receipts.

Here’s how to identify transactions for review.

Step 1: Run a report of August 11th transactions

  1. Go to Reports (Take me there) and select Standard reports.
  2. From the Type report name here dropdown Dropdown arrow icon., search for the Transaction List by Date report. 
  3. Select A close up of a green sign with a red arrow. Filter, then search for and select Modified on from the first dropdown Dropdown arrow icon.. Leave the second dropdown Dropdown arrow icon. as Equals.
  4. The third dropdown Dropdown arrow icon. is the date picker. Set the date to August 11, 2025.

Check the top-right section of the report. You’ll know you’re in the classic view if the text says "Switch to modern view."

  1. Select Customize, then Filter.
  2. Select the checkbox next to Last Modified Date. Then select Custom from the dropdown ▼ and set the date from August 11, 2025 to August 11, 2025. 
  3. Select Run report.

  1. Open a transaction from the report, then select See the math in the summary section. This will recalculate the sales tax on this transaction.
  2. How your sales tax is calculated will pop-up. Select Close to finalize the recalculation.
  3. Select Save or Review and Send on the transaction.
    • Select Save if you want to save the recalculated Sales Tax amount, but don’t want to send (or resend) the transaction to your customer.
    • Select Review and Send if you want to save the recalculated Sales Tax amount and resend the transaction to your customer. 
      Tip: You may want to include a memo to the customer explaining the updated transaction now has the correct sales tax. The previous one lacked the accurate amount.
  4. Repeat this process for each transaction on the report.

These steps will make sure your transactions and reports reflect accurate sales tax calculations moving forward.
