WA State Sales Tax varies by municipality. There is a base rate for unincorporated areas like where I live, but I shop in several different areas that each have a higher rate. Turbo Tax will not use large purchase amounts paid outside my very local area when where rates are much higher. Is there a work-around? Can I claim state sales tax at one of the higher rates (7.9% is/was the general rate for Pierce County) in the surrounding municipalities (like Gig Harbor w/8.5ish% or Port Orchard w/9.0ish%)?
