Inventory Write off in Allocation Account and Project Expense (Not Working)

Not Allocating Expense in Allocation Account & in Project Expense

I am also having trouble with my use tax owed account, since updating. (currently using version 25.1.11.2023). I noticed immediately that the Use Tax Owed account dropped significantly after updating. I’m finding that all inventory write offs, that are appropriately marked as use tax, are no longer showing in my use tax owed account. The tax has been properly set up to apply items to this account, I’m really not sure what I’m missing. I do see them on the tax transaction report, which seems correct to me. However, the problem is when I remit payment for use taxes, my use tax accounts with be off, since it’s not included my inventory write offs in the total.
Additionally, I’m not sure why my purchase items don’t show on the tax transactions under total purchases and tax on purchases. I’ve been doing testing & doing circles for hours trying to figure out what needs to be changed, to accurately record and report my sales & use taxes.

My other issue is that I can’t find clarity on, is HOW to accurately report use tax when I make a purchase for supplies that I didn’t pay sales tax on. Example: I buy materials and supplies to make products under a tax exemption for resale but occasionally purchase small tools. Since I don’t pay sales tax on these items due to tax exemptions, I need to be able to manually add this use tax liability. I’ve been manually adding the tax on the line items purchased and then creating a new line to reverse the tax out, as shown. Is this still the best and most accurate way of doing this? Should it be showing on my tax transactions report under total purchases & tax on purchases in the same area as my inventory write offs, since they both use the use tax allocations?? Example shown in 2nd screen shot, this one uses a different tax code for testing purposes.



If anyone can help me make sense of this, or offer a solution, I would greatly appreciate it. If more information or screenshots would help, please kindly let me know.
Thanks
