Thanks.  I'm seeing the 'T' when I print.  Sometimes I have items that the tax is already included, so I'm wondering how to just have the tax removed from 1 item.  For example, there would not be a 'T' after the price of just that item.  Going through and listing the taxes for each item individually is way too cumbersome.  I would actually like the tax rate shown in parentheses after the words 'sales tax'.  

sales tax  (10.35%)

This would be the most efficient and clear.

Is any of this possible?
