We sell consulting services and downloadable software. We do not ship or maintain tangible property/inventory. We use QBO Advanced. We operate under the Accrual accounting method. Our company is currently configured under the Sales Form Content with “Shipping” turned on and under Products and Services with “Track inventory quantity on hand” turned on. Within QBO, we have two products created as “Non-Inventory” and the rest of our products were created as “Service”. Having the “Shipping” setting on is causing issues with Sales Tax calculation. There are times when a shipping address is not associated with a client, so QBO uses our company address (the “ship from” address) to calculate sales tax (which is incorrect). To avoid this, we are wondering if we can solve this issue by turning off the “Shipping” option in the company configuration. Before we do this, we want to assure it will not adversely affect our books, historical data, or products. Two questions: 1) If we turn off “Shipping” now, will there be any impact to our books or products? 2) Will turning off “Shipping” force QBO to only use the client billing address and/or product tax settings to calculate the Sales Tax? Regarding “Track inventory quantity on hand”, this doesn’t seem to be an issue, but we would also like to know if we turn this off will it affect our books or products? Thank you,
