I understand the frustration and I also want this fixed since you need to pay sales taxes soon, karwhit.
QuickBooks will automatically change the sales tax rate if you're using the Automated sales tax function. You can check with your state for an update.
If there's no update with the rate, you can edit it in QuickBooks. Then, select the old rate.
Here's how:
- Go to Taxes.
- Under Related Tasks, select Add/edit tax rates and agencies.
- Select the rate you want to change from the Sales Tax Rates and Agencies table, then select Edit.
- Edit the tax rate you want. You can also change the component name if you like.
- Click Save.
When you edit a sales tax rate you use on templates, you need to select it again. Otherwise, it won’t apply any sales tax rate.
Also, when you edit a rate, you must set an effective date. You can refer to this article to learn what to do when you modify the rate: What happens when you edit sales tax rate.
Once done, check again your transactions, and make sure they have the correct sales tax rate. If there's a need to make an adjustment to your sales tax due, here's a guide for you: Create or delete a sales tax adjustment.
Let me know if you have follow-up questions by commenting below. I'll stay around until you're able to correct the sales tax rate.
