Quoted from John_I:I'm not happy about this, but in this day and age I don't understand why it is such an accounting nightmare?
If it were just 50 different tax rates for the 50 different states, it wouldn't be quite that bad. At least in MN, the tax rate can be different from county to county and also city to city. It's not just 50 tax rates you need to keep track of. It could literally be thousands.
