The Answer Room - A Simple Guide to Sales Tax in QuickBooks Online

That's a great idea, @Service. Displaying the city used for the sales tax calculation on the receipt would add clarity.

Currently, QuickBooks Online's automatic sales tax feature is designed to simplify the process by calculating the correct tax rate based on the ship-to address provided. While the total sales tax rate is automatically applied, we can easily access a detailed breakdown of its components (state, county, city, etc.) with just one click.

Here's how to access the detailed tax breakdown on a sales form:

1. Open your invoice or sales receipt.
2. Locate the sales tax line.
3. Click on the hyperlink that says "See the math" under the tax amount.
   

A small window will pop up displaying the breakdown of the sales tax, including the state, county, and city tax percentages and amounts.
