I have not been adding the sales tax to the materials. Now I pay the sales tax when i go to the store and get materials so there is not a taxing division that i have to cut a check to. What my CPA said to do is simply add this to your mark up field. I see we have a mark up field in estimates and i could use that to make a default entry in that fields of 15%. </p> <p>Now i wont need this added on if its freight or labor, only material.&nbsp; Could that mark up field only add the 15% if the item is material? </p> <p>I guess i could turn on the sales tax feature in quickbooks but then i dont cut checks for that tax because contractors here&nbsp; pay the sales tax when we buy materials.</p> <p>Thanks, John M</p>
