Welcome to the Intuit Community, Neal.


Let’s create a specific sale tax for each item and then set up a 0% rate. We’ll use the latter in the Tax section for QuickBooks to calculate the correct amount.


If you haven’t turned on the Sales Tax feature, go to the Preferences page to set it up. Here’s how:

 

  1. Navigate to the Edit menu and pick Preferences to select Sales Tax.
  2. Choose the Company Preferences tab to mark the radio button for Yes in the Do you charge sales tax section.
  3. Next, hit the Add sales item button to access the New item window.
  4. From there, choose Sales Tax Items and fill in the field boxes.
  5. Make sure to enter the correct rate (8.25% or 6.25%).
  6. Click OK.
  7. Follow steps 1-6 from the above process to enter the 0% rate.

When creating an invoice, input the service/merchandise on the first line item. Next, go to the next line and select the appropriate sales tax rate (8.25% or 6.25%).


We’ll have to perform the same procedure for the remaining product/service. Once done, click the Tax drop-down to choose 0% and then tap the Save and close button.


I’m also adding an article with a breakdown of the links for each topic about the Sales Tax option in the desktop version: How do I?
