The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting 2006

SYMPTOMS

You select a tax group on a customer invoice, save the customer invoice in Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting, and then change the tax rate for that tax group. When you either view the invoice or receive payment on the invoice, the sales tax is not automatically recalculated.

  1. On the Customer menu, point to Customer Lists, and then click Invoices.
  2. On the Invoice List list, double-click the invoice for which you want to recalculate the sales tax.
  3. Click the Edit button.
  4. In the Tax Group box, click a tax group other than the original tax group.
  5. In the Tax Group box, click the tax group for which you changed the tax rate.
  6. Click Save and Close.
