Default Re: Sales Tax Issue

I wasn't trying to be evasive with the community, I just didn't think my solution would be of assistance to anyone else. I had read the limited Knowledge Database about a thousand times, but the help desk replied to me and put the steps in a way that gave me a fresh perspective and I found my error.

1. You should assign different tax classes for the shipping shipping methods, and for the sales tax entry.
By default, both have "Default tax class" assigned.
2. So, you should create a new sales tax class, for example "Iowa Sales Tax".
3. After that, assign the new tax class to your sales tax entry.
4. Finally, assign the new tax class to all your products, manually or using Export/Import functions.
Read more about it in our Knowledge Base:

I hadn't named my new tax class properly...once I did and assigned it to all my products, it calculated properly. User stupidity (which is why I didn't share the answer with the group).

From your response earlier - I doubt this will assist you - sounds like your sales tax set-up is much more complicated than mine - but if it does, great.
