Question

Taxable Items

On the old estimates and invoices there used to be a total on the bottom showing what the taxable amount was but it is now gone on the new estimate and invoice. We NEED to see this.  WHY did quickbooks take some very much needed things away on the new invoice. I think the new version is HORRIBLE and wish I could go back to the older version.

Hi there, @Sharon119.

 

I understand that the new invoice layout may be unfamiliar to you. Rest assured I'll share some information to help you locate the total taxable amount on the new estimate or invoice in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

In the old estimates and invoices, there was a total displayed at the bottom that showed the taxable amount. In the new layout, you can access this information by clicking on the See the math button, which will show you how your sales tax is calculated.

 

Here's a photo for your reference:

As I have already replied and still have not received an answer.  You tell me to see the math but  as I stated my screen is blank when I click on it and this is information that we have to have without manually figuring it on a 10 page or larger invoice.  Please fix this ASAP!!!!!

I understand what you're currently experiencing right now, Shanon. Rest assured, I'm here to help you fix the display wherein you'll see the total amount of the taxable items on the estimate when clicking the See the math button.

 

Sometimes, our browser's cache will be too much for a website to handle. Too much browser cache can cause malfunctions and blank pages on certain websites, and this applies to all websites that use vast browser temporary files. Let's get that fixed as soon as possible. Let's start with accessing QuickBooks Online using incognito mode or a private window.

 

Here are the shortcut keys to go private mode in a browser:

 

For Google Chrome / Microsoft Edge / Opera:

  • Windows: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Mac: Command ⌘ + Shift + N

For Firefox:

  • Windows: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Mac: Command ⌘ + Shift + P

For Safari:

  • Shift + Command ⌘ + N

 

If this works, you can proceed to clear your browser's cache and cookies. Otherwise, you can also use other supported browsers to ensure it runs QBO efficiently.

 

Furthermore, you can consider creating and printing a packing slip in QuickBooks Online. 

 

Please don't hesitate to leave a reply if you need further assistance in handling your sales taxes through the invoice creation page in QBO. I'm always here to assist you.
