11-27-17
1. You can now save tax before selecting an option. Before changes to tax bracket before selection an option would not save.
2. When selecting a client address on an order, the order will identify the zip code and automatically map it to a tax rate and select it for the order.
- In order to set this up, go to the tax rate section on company settings. There is now a cog wheel with an Add Postal Code option.
- You can enter a zip code an an extension for each tax rate except the local tax rate. That is handled differently by TG and can't have special properties/fields like other added tax rates.
- If you enter a code and an extension it will look for that specifically when matching to a clients address. So if you have 52001-1234, a client with either just 52001 or 52001-7890 will not match. Only addresses with 52001-1234 will match.
- If you enter a code with no extension it will look for zip codes that have that starting code and any extensions will match / be ignored. So if you have just 52002, a client with 52003 will not match. Addresses with 52002 or 52002-1234 will match.
3. Tax rates in TG can be mapped to Tax brackets in QBO and/or QBD. This can be helpful for companies that want to the taxes to map to something specific or already setup in their QB.
Under the tax settings on the company settings page, under the newly added cog wheel, you'll also notice options Add QBO Mapping and Add QBD Mapping.- Enter the tax name and agency name in QB that you want to use. For QBO, when an order is synced it will attempt to find a tax bracket setup with that information. If one is found, it will use that for the order, otherwise it will create its own. For QBD, It will also search but it will error out if none is found. It won't create it's own.
