Sales tax in Quickbooks Desktop

@CherieF  Sort of.

One thing you can do is create a sales tax item for each type of income.

For instance, 6% - Sales and 6% - Rentals, or whichever sales tax rate applies to your region.

You would still need to switch between accrual and cash basis when generating the report, but this would effectively keep the two types of sales separate on your report.

@CherieF  Oh, and if you needed them partitioned further on the sales tax report (for instance, if you already have multiple sales tax rates coming into play), you can make each of their sales tax items payable to a vendor with a slightly different name, or with {Sales} and {Rentals} listed at the end of two otherwise identical vendor names.

This will allow you to still have different sales tax rates totaling by your sales or your rental categories.

Anything listed between the {} brackets in Desktop won't print anywhere, so it's a convenient way to have multiple 'copies' of one vendor or employee or what have you.

@FishingForAnswers Thank you for your suggestions! I will run some "dummy" invoices to try different methods.  I thought using separate sales tax vendors for sales and rentals would work, but then I realized that a single invoice can't have multiple sales tax vendors. Our customers want a single invoice at the end of the month. I appreciate your help!
