I could not find a report or anyway to get the information I needed for Sales by State either. SO.... what I did was create a "sales tax item" for each state. I tried it for the first month in January2019 and it worked. Then for each invoice/sales receipt I entered the appropriate sales tax item for the state invoice was shipped to, I also have an "out of country" sales tax item for foreign sales (we sell worldwide). I generated my sales tax report, it is now very long. However, it worked and my report shows monthly sales for the different tax locations in my state, (which I need to fill out my monthly sales tax report,) it shows total sales for different states, (which I will use if we every have to send sales tax to different states, we don't at this time), and it shows total sales for all foreign countries. I export that report into EXCEL to add things up and get totals, such as all different tax locations and a total for All States. The sales tax report is now long and cumbersome, and it took a while to create a "sales tax item" for every state, but it worked and my sales tax report gives me "Sales broken down by State." Hope this helps.
