You REALLY want to use a package and integrate it in your existing app. Look at www.taxware.com (my current package) or www.vertexinc.com (in a former life). Typically, the base (existing) application calls a tax interface program with 50+ parameters to allow the tax package to return the appropriate federal, state, county, city, and other taxes that may apply to the jurisdiction. The tax package should also provide auditability so the finance guys can print reports of the company's liability in different jurisdictions. The rules are so different in each taxing body across the US, that it is considered prudent to buy a package that is responsible for knowing all the different nuances. There's no way a company could economically keep track of it all by themselves. Good luck!

Is there a standard code or id for taxing authorities? Any kind of national listing? Using a tax package has been ruled out (this has to fit inside another package). Customers spread over US. This is parts, labor, and fuels. tia jim ============================= William Washington III Njia Systems Incorporated w.washington3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 312-719-0519 =============================
