So I own a bakery/restaurant, and when buying supplies, most groceries are partially taxed (ie $10-$50 from a total of a $1000 receipt). Why does it consistently ask me to pick a tax when I've already entered all that information on my phone, and why can't I fix it. Does this on my bills as well from my suppliers...pay $1200 for groceries and has a fuel surcharge of $22. But if I put in the tax for that, it constantly readjusts so that I can't get the correct overall total unless I do a bunch of minusing cetera to make it fit.  Any help would be amazing cause its half way through the year and its driving me insane

Hello homebakedgoodnes, 

 

Thanks for connecting with us in the Community. QuickBooks is a powerful program that offers a variety of tools and features that help you streamline your business. I'll be happy to share more information about setting up a default tax rate on your account so the taxes are uniform each time you enter a transaction.

 

In order to set up/change the default tax code on your account, you'll have to make the changes from the Account and Settings menu. To do this, click on the Gear icon > Account and Settings > navigate to the Advanced tab > look for the Accounting section > change your Default tax rate and hit Save and Done. I recommend checking this as this is helpful for when you enter your transactions in the future. I also recommend making sure your transactions are completely saved when you initially snap your receipts.

 

Give this a try and let me know how you make out. I'll be here in case you have other questions. Otherwise, have a great rest of the week!
