A Tax Location is what is used on the job to populate taxes. A tax location is made up of 1+ Tax Component/Rate. Example: |
| Quickbooks Online | Tax Rate | Combined Rate |
| Quickbooks Desktop | Tax Item | Tax Group |
Sales Tax Configuration with QuickBooks
- Sales tax configuration in SingleOps requires two divisions: Tax Components & Tax Locations. This means, in Quickbooks Sales Tax must be set up as a combined tax or tax group.
Set up sales tax in QuickBooks Desktop - Must have Tax Groups
Set up your sales tax in QuickBooks Online - Must have Combined Rates - Once a SingleOps account has been synced with Quickbooks, the only way to add Tax Components & Tax Locations is to first create them in Quickbooks & sync them to SingleOps.
