Ok so I do online sales from home in Louisiana, I understand that customers outside of the state of LA, I don't charge tax. However customers within the state I need to charge their local parishes (county) tax rate.  How am I able to determine their tax rate before an invoice is sent? Im not sure where to find the local taxes for each one and apply it to the invoice before hand.  What if I dont know where the customer is coming to determine their local tax rate? im going cross eyed tryna to wrap my head around it! HALLLP!

I wanted to avoid as much overhead cost as possible, esp starting out.. but looks like ill have to wind up setting up a website. I am no good at any of this. Thanks for your help!

When a customer requests an invoice how to I determine where they are from to apply their local sales to invoice.  I dont want to have to play 21 questions with each and every customer unless it's necessary.
