Why is tax not calculating when I save it in QuickBooks but it calculates in the error list?

Overview

When you save the transaction in QuickBooks, tax is not calculating, but when you push it to the error list and recalculate, it calculates tax.

Environment

Avalara Avatax

QuickBooks

Resolution

• In QuickBooks, go to File > AvaTax > Configuration or Preferences tab (depending on connector version)
• Tax Calculations tab
• Uncheck Disable automatic calculation (Memorized Transactions).

Cause

When Disable automatic calculation (Memorized Transactions) is activated, it stops QuickBooks from activating Avatax when saving an invoice.
