How to Enter Multiple Sales Tax Rates on an Invoice in QuickBooks
Published 09/28/2011 | 
Ruth, I have a client that wants to charge different sales tax rates/jurisdictions on the same invoice by line. How can they do that? Thanks!
You can do this by entering the sales tax items into the sales receipt or invoice. Just be careful to clear out the tax at the bottom and use a subtotal item if you have more than one item per sales tax item because it only calculates on the item above it.

I need to withhold tax for a different state besides KS. Does QB charge extra to download tax table for MO? If not, how do I do that.
Hi Dana,
The blog post you’re commenting on is about sales tax which is collected not withheld.
Are you asking about payroll taxes? If so, Intuit doesn’t charge extra for additional states. You just need to create new payroll items for MO in Employees > Manage Payroll Items.
