Tax on full amount not net amount after discount(deposit)

[Hideawaycmpgrd]

We have a campground that we accept deposits 3-4 months before they arrive to hold spots.

My question is when I send a invoice for payment how do I apply the deposit so it is also taxed.

Example: camping $200, deposit sent $50. I put on invoice $200 total fee and it is taxed so total is now $210. The only way I can figure out how to subtract deposit amount is as a discount. Once that is applied it reduces amount to $150 and it taxes that amount. I need it to tax full amount.

Is their any way to have it figure full amount tax and apply a deposit deduction after? and a new total now due?

Welcome to the Community, @Hideawaycmpgrd -

Have you tried adding the deposits as a separate line item? Instead of processing it like a discount, you would issue a refund when needed. At the time of the refund you have the option to refund the item as you need it.

Give that a try and let me know if you'd like a different option. I would be happy to circle back.

Thank you!
