Under the "tax tracking type" should I have a check mark by all of the taxes to have the health ins non taxable or do I uncheck them? I have talked to a couple of people and it confused me.







Under the "Tax Tracking Type" you only select the single type for the item you are creating. The next page, "Taxes" you would typically leave it however QuickBooks has the default. (This is one area QuickBooks is normally right on about.) A check mark by the tax in this window means the item you have set up IS going to be taxed by the tax item.
