Last night I got an order for a show coming up. She wants the items shipped right to her. But the tax rate is different from where she is and where the show is. I understand the tax rate goes by where it is shipped but how do I change it in PP for just this one order to make the tax rate 5.5% instead of 5%.

She placed the order on my website under the show so that is the only reason I caught the tax difference because the website figured it out that way, but I can't find anything in PP to do the same. Thanks in advance.
 
There is a button on the lower left hand side of the order screen that says 'Special Tax', this is where you will input her tax rate. The shows will still be the same as the hosts address.
