How do you split a receipt with taxable and non taxable items? It seems when you click to add taxes it automatically calculates it on all items

Hi there, 

It's awesome to hear that you're taking advantage of the Receipt Scan tool in order to capture and categorize your expense receipts. If not all items on your receipt are taxable, QuickBooks Online makes it easy for you to edit the total tax amount. I'd be happy to explain how this works.

Once you add the receipts and bills in QuickBooks, they’ll show up in the For Review tab where you can review, edit, and match transactions.

1. From the left menu, select Banking or Transactions.
2. Go to the Receipts tab.
3. From here, you can select the row to have a side-by-side view of the receipt you sent and the data we extracted. You can also select:
   • Review to edit the extracted information for the receipt. If there are multiple matches, selecting Review allows you to choose the match you want.
   • Add to create a new expense in QuickBooks with the receipt attached.
   • Match when you’re ready to match the receipt with an existing record in QuickBooks. Note: If an imported banking transaction and a receipt are both in For Review, QuickBooks won’t suggest a match until you select Add for one of them.

If you have sales tax turned on in your company file, you can:

• Select tax type and rate from the dropdown to automatically calculate the tax amount.
• Edit the value in the tax amount field for multiple rates or non-taxable items.
• Edit the total amount of tax deduction to change the value of tax calculated for a group rate. This is applied across the respective codes in the group proportionally.
