Set Up OSC for US Tax
Well one of the "Dark Arts" is setting up tax rates. It is not that difficult you just need to know your tax laws and how OSC works.

These instructions cover setting Single State Tax (in this case Texas... applicable to CA state also.) If the state of the delivery address of a customer is from the state the tax is set for, tax will be applied.

Locations/Taxes

Regarding "Countries" and "Zones" - Those are meant to check if the countries and states/provinces(zones) are present. For this purpose, there is no need to alter/add the "Countries" or "Zones". The U.S. is listed in the "Countries" table and all U.S. states are in the "Zones" table.

Begin here.
