For lack of an IEA solution, we take out daily payments sales and divide=
them in taxable and non-taxable according to which they are.
This lets us pull up a sales tax report in about 2 minutes and we can have=
everything filed in about 5 minutes.
It also accomplishes the task of calculating a P/L statement since Emerald=
doesn't do accounting(other than time) and we do like every other business=
have expenses that need to be kept track of.

Doing it this way was a little bit extra work at first, but it is only=
about 5 extra minutes per day now that we have a system.

Waiting for an Emerald report or an SQL query is just procrastinating in my=
opinion. We did that for months and then finallly I decided we can't keep=
waiting for someone else to help.

There are some good reports out there, and a great guy named Josh has most=
of them, buy I don't think he has a sales tax collected report.
