How do I go about charging tax for some states, but not others. I see an all state option, the homestate option and a tax table option. When I looked at the DNN_Smith_Tax Table I see only California towns. Is there an option for NJ, PA, CT, DE, and NY? If not, do I have to put in each individual town for all five states into this table? The documentation says that only customers in the home state will be charged. How is this different than the "Charge Tax" in Home state method? You have to collect sales tax for any state where a company has an office. That's my dilemma.

Ok, so the tax is not just charged for your "Home State", for me, NJ, as you have written on Page 47 of your documentation:

"Use Tax Tables – Choose this option if you want the store to lookup the exact tax rate in the tax tables. If you select this option only customers in your "Home State" will be charged tax. To modify, add or import records to the tax table go to your SQL Management Studio and choose the table called "Smith_Tax". "

But actually "Home State" is any set of states that you put in the table. If the towns in NJ, PA, DE, CT, and NY are entered, then if the customer is in any of those states and towns, they get charged tax. If the customer is in Ohio and Ohio isn't in the Smith Tax table then Ohioans don't get charged tax in my example. When I read Home State as it is in the documentation I think only of one state, not a set. A bit confusing, I think.

Does the county really count? If I put the state and the towns with their rates and put the county as all the same, will there be a problem? I can't find any lists of state, county, town on line. I see State and Towns, or States and Counties. But no state, county town.

Will it make a difference if I put all NJ towns in say, Bergen County and then all with 7% tax? Is there a place in check out for county anyway?

Perfect ! Thank you. That was exactly the information I needed.
