calculating sales tax

It's good to see you here in the Community, tnolen.

Thanks for getting back to us. Let me help you go over to your invoices and have those taxes calculate properly.

I've tried to replicate this and was able to get the correct sales tax amount.

To better isolate this issue, as an initial step, let's make sure your QuickBooks release version is up to date.

1. From the QuickBooks Help menu, select Update QuickBooks.
2. On the Update QuickBooks window, go to the Update Now tab. You can ignore the table because you don't need to change anything.
3. (Optional) Put a check mark in the box Reset Update box to erase all previous update downloads.
   Note: This may increase the amount of time needed for the update.
4. Select Get Updates.
5. Restart QuickBooks. When prompted, accept the option to install the new release.

After that, try to re-create the invoice to check if it's calculating correctly. If you're still getting the same issue, you may want to open a sample company file. This is to check whether this has something to do with your company file or QuickBooks Program.

If you're able to get the correct sales tax amount using the sample company file, we can verify and rebuild your data. The data verification process in QuickBooks is a tool that examines the health of your QuickBooks company data file.

To Verify Data:

1. Choose Window at the top, then Close All.
2. Choose File.
3. Click on Utilities.
4. Verify Data.

To Rebuild Data:

1. Choose
2. Click on Utilities.
3. Rebuild Data.
4. You will receive a warning message to backup your company file, press OK.
5. Click OKwhen you get the message "Rebuild has completed".
