You can use the Custom rates feature in QuickBooks Online (QBO) to set this up, dwallace. I'd be glad to guide you how.

For agencies dealing with more than two sales tax rates, you can set up a Combined tax rate in QBO for easier tracking. Here's how to do it:

 

  1. Navigate the Taxes menu and select Sales tax.
  2. Click Sales Tax Settings.
  3. Click on Add rate.
  4. Choose Combined radio button.
  5. Enter a name for the combined rate and the different sales tax requirements.
  6. Hit Save once done.

I've also included some resources that explain how QB calculates taxes, along with a report to help you track the sales tax you owe:
