Question

All non-taxable products on estimates and invoices are still showing a T by their price. This is not affecting sales tax calculations. Who can fix this issue?

It would be helpful if this was fixed, so I do not have to print and white out the T's.

Hello there, @smittysauto. I would like to provide you with some useful insights on how to resolve the issue you're facing with QuickBooks.

 

Even if your customer is set up as tax-exempt, QuickBooks may still automatically mark the invoice or estimate as taxable. In order to avoid this, you will need to manually uncheck the Tax box before saving the transaction. I have attached an image for your reference.


 

It is important to ensure that your customers are fully tax-exempt. Make sure that the product/service is set up correctly with the appropriate tax mapping to make it eligible for tax exemption. Verify if your customer has a valid address, as a missing or invalid one could cause QBO to use a default tax rate for the company.

 

Furthermore, you can refer to this article for more guidance and information about sales tax:

Thank you for your response, but that is not the issue. The issue is that even when the items are not "checked," the estimate/invoice print out with a T next to the items that are not checked as taxable. Thankfully, this is NOT affecting the sales tax calculation. It seems like a print glitch. It only happens in the new design for estimates and invoices, not on the sales receipts.
