Does anyone know how to change the default rate to the new tax rate? Mine is still coming up thirty-something cents and I have to manually change it each time. I've looked to figure out a way to change it, but since I'm roadkill on the information superhighway....could use someone's help if anyone knows how. :o

Have a great day,
Sandy
 
go to personal info then to income and expenses then click on the show you are on and adjust the rate....I'm still trying to figure out how to correct it for all of them
 
Found It!!! go to update, income and expense codes, find mileage and double click, and change the rate in that box...by the way...what is the new mileage rate so I can change mine??? I heard about the change but forgot all about it
 
I believe the new rate is 48.5 cents per mile. This is in effect from Sept. 1st through the end of the year. It may change again in January.
