For an image of what I am referring to I have now added these 2 photos below.
Photo 1 Shows my Settings for Sales Taxes and shows the 1 I assigned ... PA sales tax at 6%
Now on my Reports > Taxes I am seeing 4 Taxes.... PA Sales Tax, Sales Tax, Sales Tax (Bath...), and Sales Tax (Dingmans Ferry....) But I have no idea what rates these are charging and can not find it in my Square account. The Pa sales Tax and Sales Tax might be because I changed the name from Sales Tax to Pa Sales Tax..... but no idea where or what rate Bath and Dingmans Ferry are charging and why? Especially since I have a website off of Square, Square is for in-store sales and a few Phone orders. The below Picture is From Reports > Taxes page..... as you can see this has Taxes highlighted on the Left column.
That is super interesting and weird. I don't have an answer but I'll bump this to see if anyone else can help.
@Candlestore I took a look at your account and here's what I found:
Along with the language: We use tax registrations to accurately auto calculate taxes for Square Online orders, as well as delivery orders on Retail POS. A tax registration state is one where you have a business presence. This could be your storefront, home office, warehouse or a location where you deliver to. We have pre-configured your tax registrations based on your Square locations. Add new tax registrations if you plan to deliver orders to a county outside of your existing registrations.
Did you recently start using the Retail POS app when you didn't before? How about online orders? Let me know @Candlestore !
I just went to look at my Taxes and this is what I am referring to.
As you see in the above picture my Pa Sales Tax for In-store purchases is at 6%.
Tax Registrations for United States Pennsylvania are ??? And then when I click Manage on the right side I get the Image you posted before. Even if I click Pennsylvania all I get the option to do is delete it. No rates are shown.
Can you show me where you see the Tax Registrations for United States Pennsylvania shows up in reporting? Does it indicate the percentage there @Candlestore ?
It does not show the % there just the $ amount.
On this screen you can see it says PA tax.... but if I sold in Dingmans Ferry or Bath it would show there but again no % but I have that as shown in the screen above where it is headed Tax Rate then shows 6% on the far right. Shouldn't a tax page show the rates for all Pennsylvania Tax and the rates?
That is the other problem Squares Tax Reporting groups all those taxes together in reporting in Transactions Detail, Summary etc. Now I can go on the Dash board to the Sales / Report / Taxes and see the $ amount Square is reporting and that is about the only place. If you go there in my reports and change the Time to this year .... 2023 you will see Dingmans ferry with $ amounts and Bath as all $0.00. As you can see Bath shows $0.00 but Dingmans Ferry shows $2.30 of taxes Square is saying I owe to Dingmans Ferry for this year. Which was automatically adjusted by Square with the Automatically Pre-Configured PA taxes. Just no way to see what rate each is Pre Configured at. You asked if I see a report for the Transactions showing the % for these areas. Square reporting just shows Sales tax or Tax on transactions reports all grouped together. The Tax report I took a screen shot of below is the only place I see these other 2 taxes along with the regular sales tax. My screen shot also shows which report on the square dashboard I was at. You also asked me if other reports show these rates which is kind of my question too.... Where or on what report can I see the % Square is reporting to these other areas so I can plan this for My Taxes?
I figured, I was just bumping it in hopes of it getting back on someone's radar.
@isabelle and @VanKalkerFarms ;
Guess I need to call to see what is up. When I did my Sales Tax for PA at the beginning of October there were no new questions regarding these 2 taxes Square is reporting. So now I am wondering is my Sales Tax being over inflated for what I should be paying to the State of PA?
Here is a screen shot of the questions I get asked when doing my Sales Tax for the state. This is here so when Support asks for information I can point them to this thread.
Yes! So true. You posted in the general community so anyone should have access to view this thread and get more context.
I wish I could be of more help, but I worry this is an 'works as intended' situation rather than a bug. Please keep me updated @Candlestore and let me know how your interaction with Support goes.
