No checkbox for Tax-exempt customer

In the instructions for creating a customer, there says there is a checkbox to mark a customer as tax-exempt. In my screen, I don't see a check box, but instead a text field. There is an address for the customer. What am I missing here?

No checkbox for Tax-exempt customer

I'm glad to have you here, @guitarthrower.

 

Let me guide you on how to have the Tax-Exempt checkbox.

 

First, you'll need to turn on the Automatic Sales Tax and set it up in the Taxes tab. Here's how:

 

  1. In the left panel, select Taxes.
  2. Click the Use Automatic Sales Tax
  3. Then, follow the on-screen steps.

 

 

Once done, let's go back to add a customer and check the Additional info area where Taxes can be managed for that customer.
