I'm an artist based in Michigan looking to offer digital commissions, however I have not been able to find any information on how to set up sales tax on an invoice. I'm not sure if it needs to be my state's 6% rate or if it depends on where the client is located, and if it is the latter is there a way to have the tax rate auto-generated based on the client's address? I've searched all over for this information but I've not found anything helpful.
