Table Window

Field Description
Account

Enter, or click to select, a valid account to which this sales tax should be applied when billings are calculated.

Description

This field displays the description for the selected account.

Note: If your billings combine costs that are taxable in different states, you probably need to set up different cost accounts to properly track the costs that are taxable for each individual state. For example, if you use account "0653" for "Materials," and materials need to be billed using different sales tax rates, you could probably set up multiple "Materials" accounts; that is, set up "0653-001" for "Materials - Maryland," "0653-002" for "Materials - Washington, D.C.," "0653-003" for "Materials - Virginia," and so on. Then you would assign only accounts set up for a specific state to that state's sales tax code in this screen.
