[Hidden-tech] QuickBooks Sales Tax Question

[Will Loving]

Charles,

I would think the simplest way to do it would be to enter the charge as two
different amounts under the same account, one for the first $175 and marked
as not-taxed and the remainder on a second line marked as taxable. I think
the MA way of doing things is kind of an unusual rule and your not likely to
find QuickBooks (or other consumer programs) flexible enough to accommodate
it.
