I have the information you need to resolve issues when adding expense transactions by taking a photo of your receipts, gk-electrical. Allow me to add some troubleshooting steps so you can overcome the tax calculation error.

QuickBooks Online app accumulates a significant amount of cache during its operation on your device. These data can get corrupted, leading to unexpected behavior affecting your experience when adding an expense transaction.

To get this resolved, you can proceed to these steps if you're using an Android device:

1. Head to your device Settings.
2. Click on Apps. Although it varies by device.
3. Select the QuickBooks app from the list.
4. Choose Storage, then clear data.

If the issue persists, uninstalling and reinstalling the application can also help address app-related concerns.

On the other hand, please know there's an ongoing investigation regarding the error message you receive if you're using an iOS device.
