I believe in being proactive. Many of you in Wilmington NC may be dealing with the new 8% sales tax rate in New Hanover County. Here is how you change the rate in Quickbooks:
Go to the Item List.
Find the current Sales Tax item.
Double-click.
Change the Rate.
This will not effect past entries of Sales Receipts or Invoices.
Verify that the rate is correct in a new invoice.
