Thanks for joining our drop-in, beatty1!
I think you would benefit from using the Non-taxable option for your items. If you already have your non-taxable code set up, you can mark an item as non-taxable by:
1. Go to the Lists menu, then select Item List.
2. On the Item List window, select Item then New (or Edit Item).
3. From the tax code drop-down, choose Non Taxable Sales (or Non Taxable Labor).
You can find out more about this and other tax options in your Desktop account here: Set up sales tax in QuickBooks Desktop
Feel free to reach back out if you have any other questions!
