Hi there, @happyjacks.

 

I'd be glad to help you remove the sales tax line from your invoices. Simply follow these steps to turn off its settings. Here's how:
 

  1. Go to the Taxes menu and select Sales Tax Settings.
  2. Click Turn off sales tax
  3. Select Yes to confirm.

Once done, this will now remove the Select tax rate line and TAX column from your invoices.

Additionally, there are several financial reports you can run to track your sales income in QuickBooks. They will show you helpful insights into the things you buy and sell, and the status of your inventory.

 

The Community always has your back, so please let me know if you have any other QuickBooks-related concerns or questions, @happyjacks. I'll be more than happy to help. Keep safe.

Hi @happyjacks,

Hope you’re doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about the sales tax line concern you had yesterday. Was it resolved? Do you need any additional help or clarification? If you do, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you at anytime.

Looking forward to your reply. Have a pleasant day ahead!

Hello

Go to the

Sales Tax Settings.

Select the Non-Taxable for Tax Code.

For Tax Item, choose Non-Taxable as well.

May be helpful for you guys.

This does not remove the sales tax line item from a customer's invoice. The line item "TAX: 0.00" still appears on the invoice after completing these steps.

Did you find a solution for this? I've called quickbooks and they seem clueless.

I am joining this conversation in the hopes that a solution will be posted soon. I also have the problem that the Tax line was added accidentally and now cannot be removed from Customer Invoices that do not need the tax line.

How can this issue be going on for so long without a fix.  Is there other accounting applications out there?
