Let me share information on handling sales for the same item with a different tax rate when purchased.
There are instances when you can buy the same items from different vendors with different tax rates. It has to be noted accordingly in QuickBooks, ensuring accurate tax calculations to prevent related issues in the future.
In your case, you've mentioned that some items purchased from a vendor are taxable, and the same items are non-taxable when purchased from another vendor. With this, you can separate the same items with different tax rates in an invoice/sales receipt by adding them as separate line items.
Here's how:
- Click on the +New icon, then Invoice/Sales receipt.
- Select the client from the Customer dropdown.
- Add the item and enter the QTY depending on the items you need to sell that are taxable when purchased. You can also modify the Rate or Amount if you need to adjust them.
- Add the same item in the second line item and adjust the QTY depending on the number of items you need to sell that are non-taxable when purchased. You can update the Rate or Amount if necessary.
- You can check the Taxable box for items you need to collect sales taxes. This way, QuickBooks can determine which item is taxable or non-taxable.
- Determine how you would like to save the entry.
On the other hand, can you tell us what you mean by "some was paid already"? Were you the one who paid the item to your vendor, or you're paid by a customer? These details can help us identify the most appropriate resolution.
