QuickBooks has gotten far too extortionate for my liking. I’m willing to pay for Manager, I’d rather pay literally anyone other than Intuit for products. I like what I’m seeing so far, but there are a few key things that are needed to function. This isn’t just a matter of learning a new system, it literally cannot do what is needed, and it is unfortunate. It is also a standard way of doing things in the USA that many other software packages offer. I’m also obviously not the only person that needs it, as referenced in the linked post in my thread starter. Could I manually do taxes per item on every invoice? Sure, I suppose, but that is very tedious. Even if it cannot be applied to customers, making it apply per invoice would be fine. It could flow like
IF item TAXABLE = yes THEN rate=INVOICETAXRATE.
Or, perhaps there could be a setting in the item for tax rate, =INVOICERATE. Or something.
Then items that do get taxed, can look for the rate in the invoice. Items that don’t, will still have zero. Obviously it would be more complicated than that, but I have to imagine it’s possible when others are doing it.
