I appreciate the prompt response, mmaddoxneb. Yes, you're right. You'll need to make the customer taxable to add the taxes on their invoice. Let me guide you directly on how to do this.
Once you create an invoice for your customer, you'll need to click the See the math hyperlink to change the tax-exempt status. From there, you can review the taxes included in the invoice.
Here's how:
Once done, go back to the customer's profile and check the tax-exempt status box. This ensures that they won't be charged any taxes when you create their invoices. For more details, about sales tax exemption, see this link: Understand and set up sales tax exemptions in QuickBooks Online.

Clicking the tax button changes nothing,
Each new invoice that I create whether it is a taxable or exempt, the tax box is selected on taxable products.
My problem comes when I bring up a tax-exempt customer and I want to make the products on this invoice taxable. Clicking the tax button on the product lines changes nothing
So besides editing the customer to taxable and I lose their tax-exempt number and change it back after running the invoice.

Thanks, that is what I have been doing, quite cumbersome way but it works.
Just a Warning to any one else, once you click this customer to taxable you will lose their Tax resale/exempt number when you go back .
Thanks for the help
