How to set up Texas sales tax in QuickBooks?


Like everyone else in Texas, I have to calculate and track sales tax for multiple districts (e.g. state, county, city, special district, etc.) on EVERY invoice, and I’m sure other states have similar conditions. I’m just getting started with QuickBooks, so maybe I’m missing something, but it appears that it only lets you assign one tax district on each invoice. With tens of millions of people in Texas, many of them making deliveries and sales at their customer’s locations–which makes sales taxes absurdly and stupidly complicated–surely QuickBooks has taken this into account and provided a way to calculate several sales tax amounts on each sale. Does anyone know if this can be done and where I can find instructions to set it up?

You’ve got your work cut out for you. See this article for instructions on setting up sales taxes, including where you are dealing with multiple tax jurisdictions within a state: http://qbblog.ccrsoftware.info/2009/02/setting-up-sales-tax-in-quickbooks/
