Sales Tax

Hi Tim, I am trying to figure out my sales tax and I am wondering what this number is on the sales summary page? At first I thought it was total of the sales that were taxed, but that doesn't seem to work out correctly.

That is the taxable amount from the orders tax is calculated on.

Thanks for your quick response. IT looks like this number includes all amounts that could have been taxed? Even though most were out of state where I don't charge tax? I had 51.95 in sales that qualified for being taxed and my tax rate is 9.25.

I am curios what this number actually is accounting wise or how it's used? To report my taxes I need the amount of sales that the number was calculated on. So basically 51.95. I also need all sales before shipping, tax or credit, OR all sales that were not taxable. Can I find either of those somewhere? I am currently calculating by exporting the sales to a spreadsheet and adding formulas, but it seems like I'm always in a rush when calculating sales tax.

Thanks so much for all your help. ~Melissa

I figured out what it is. It is showing the total taxable amounts of the orders even if the order didn't charge tax. So if you had a $50 order that was taxable, but the person was out of state and didn't actually pay tax, it is still calculating it into the total taxable amount on the reports. I will have to do some looking into it.

Hi Tim,. Yes,. That's what I discovered toi when I pulled a spreadsheet and did the math. It seems to elimialnating non-taxable products, but not non-taxable people. It's an interesting number because for me it represents how much I sold in physical product..... But it may not be the number that belongs there.

Thanks for your help. This isn't urgent because I can pull a spreadsheet and get the number, but it would be great to skip that step.
