I alo have business in MA and on July 1st, the sales tax was changed. I did know to go to the Company Preferences tab, look for the option Your most common sales tax item and click the NEW tax code I use.
ONLY issue is with PAST CUSTOMERS. The OLD tax is always the one that shows up. HOW do I get the NEW TAX to show up NOT ONLY for NEW CUSTOMERS, but ALL MY OLD ONES?
Thanks

Barb, I’m not quite sure what you are asking, can you explain in a bit more detail?

I have changed preferences, but would like to change tax default so that tax changed automatically. Any suggestions?

Wow, Charlie, you are my hero once again. I have a client that does work in Massachusetts. As you may know, in July, they changed their rate. I have been “bugged” by this issue and always had to “watch” when I entered a new customer because it kept selecting that old Mass. tax. I was slightly “annoyed” that I could not just change my rate without changing past transactions. Never even thought to look at the preferences setting. I will definitely correct that on his file.

Thanks again.
