If you need a U.S. location to fall within a different jurisdiction than it's assigned to in AvaTax, you can create a jurisdiction override. Reasons you might consider a jurisdiction override:
- Your company has an address that doesn't fall within the boundary assigned by AvaTax.
- You have documentation from the state showing the correct tax jurisdictions and tax rate for an address.
- The transaction is in a city that exists in more than one county or a county that crosses multiple city and or special tax jurisdiction boundaries.
