Hello tferrellhc-gmail,

Thanks for reaching out to us here.  Making sure your sales tax is accurately applied to your transactions in QuickBooks Online is key, in keeping with government guidelines.  I'd be happy to help!

Applying the appropriate sales tax to your forms, provides accurate tracking for filing and recording your sales tax payments.  When you create an expense or bill, you'll want to ensure you select the appropriate sales tax for the item.  If you've selected 'inclusive of tax', it would indicate the tax is included in the price of the item, and therefore wouldn't be shown separately.  However, to be able to add sales tax to a bill you'll want to make sure that you've set up sales tax rates by navigating to the Taxes tab and select Sales Tax, then hit Manage sales tax, where you'll see the codes you've set up within that agency.  In addition, you'll want to make sure that you've set up the sales tax rate to be applied accordingly, such as I collect this on Sales, or I pay this on Purchases.  For each line item or category that you enter you'll be able to select a corresponding sales tax code by using the dropdown menu within on each row. 

If you experience the same outcome, please contact us outside of Community. We would love the opportunity to work with you in real-time, and review your situation in more depth.  This will provide us with a better understanding of the cause and best course of action, to ensure you're able to accomplish your QuickBooks goals without delay.  

Feel free to reach back out if you have other questions. We would be glad to assist!
