How do I apply sales tax to a deposit? Do I just do it manually?

The sales tax feature is conveniently available for all your sales transactions only, @scott225. To include the tax, you can have an invoice or a sales receipt. I'm here to guide you through the process.

In including the sales tax, you can either create an invoice followed by a receive payment, or directly create a sales receipt and ensure the tax is applied. Here's how:

1. In the +New button, click Invoice. 
2. Select the customer in the Add customer dropdown and put the Product or service. 
3. Tick the Tax box and if done, hit Save and close.

After recording an invoice, make sure to choose the correct bank account in the Deposit to option when creating the Receive payment.
