I recognize the importance of calculating sales tax correctly, Lawnkingoftexas. Hence, I'll provide more insights to address this.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), once the Automated Sales Tax feature is enabled, the option to turn it off is unavailable.
For further information about how this functionality works in QBO, check out this article: Set up and use automated sales tax in QuickBooks Online.
Since we're unable to switch off the automatic sales tax calculation, I recommend adding a custom tax rate. Here's how:
- Go to Taxes, then Sales tax.
- Select Sales tax settings.
- In the Custom rates section, click Add rate.
- Choose Single or Combined.
- Enter the Name of the custom rate. If adding a combined rate, enter a Nickname for each charge you want to link as one custom rate.
- Add the Agency you file payments. If adding a combined rate, click the agency for each rate you need to group as one custom rate.
- Enter the correct rate and then hit Save.
To learn more about the process, please see this resource: Use custom rates to calculate taxes on sales transactions.
Lastly, I'll add this reference to help you record, adjust, and delete sales tax payments in the tax center: Manage sales tax payments in QuickBooks Online.
