        1. Input the start (Range From) and end (Range To) values for the zip range.
      3. Zip/Post Code- If you did not check Zip/Post is Range, this field is to input the Zip/Post Code for this tax rate.
        1. If this is applicable to all zip codes, enter *
      4. State - This is the state the tax rate applies to. Leave as * to indicate all states.

  9. In the field that opens up, enter the exact name of the Counterpoint tax category code here and press Enter on the keyboard.
    1. If multiple tax category codes have the same rate, you can repeat steps 8 and 9 for the other category codes.
      1. For example, if you have TAX1 and TAX2 and both have a 6% tax rate, you can enter TAX2 here.
      2. If TAX2 is a different rate, you will need to create another rule.
