Taxes

[Muldrick]

I need to charge tax to California and Maryland residence only.

I set up those taxes.

But when I, a PA residence purchase something, it also charges me those taxes.

How do I set this up to only charge tax for CA and MD residences?

There are a couple of steps...make sure you followed all of them:

 

How to Setup Your Taxes

 

In admin, under Locations/Taxes, click on "Tax Zones"

Click on the "new zone" button. In the Zone Name: input field I enter "CA"

For Description I enter "California". Click on "insert"

After you click insert, you will see CA show up in the list. You think you're done, but not

quite!

Click on the "CA" (or whatever name you have!) in the list and you will see the heading

say "Geographical Zones / CA"

Here you see a "new zone" button again. Click on it!

Now you get to select a geographical zone. From Country, I Select United States

From Region, Select California. Click "update"

A few more steps to go! Now under "Locations/Taxes" click on "Tax Rates"

Click on "new tax rate" button

Select "Taxable Goods" from the Tax Class Title drop down menu

From the Zone menu, select CA (or whatever zone you created)

In the Tax Rate field enter the tax percentage

In the Description, enter the description, e.g. "California Sales Tax"

Now you're done!

Yep, I did it up to "you think you're done".

Now I did the rest, works great. Thanks!!! :)

I was havin the same problem. couldn't find/get the "geographical zones" thing even after reading this. Eventually, I "ran into it somehow" did what you outlined, and wham! all better. Thanks!
