How do you setup the taxes so that things like Sprite don't get charged tax when going through an EBT sale?
If Sprite is $0.99, it would be $1.07 after tax if you're paying cash. However, if you're paying with EBT, it should be $0.99. How do you program this?

I would personally check into that before you make such a move. I have not heard of it, althouh I don't currently take EBT, I know a lot of relatives who do, and they all charge tax. You would be loosing money if you don't charge tax on taxable items, because when the accountant does taxes, sometimes they go based off invoices, and in you're case...not good. Check into it, before you try to do that
I think though you may be able to set an EBT sale up as a "customer" and for the EBT customer, F7 then select EBT customer and when this sale is rung up, you can have it set so they don't have to pay any sales tax. Best of luck.
Well at least in Texas, EBT customers definitely don't pay sales tax for things like Sprite.
I'll try that F7 idea of yours. . . but they still have to pay tax for things like garbage bags. How would you discriminate between items that are taxable, taxable-foodstampable, and non-taxable?

Not really sure...I'm not sure if you have a redemption value or not either...if you do, they are exempt from that as well...I'm not sure of a solution to you're problem, the only thing I can think of is to tender two different sales.
I don't think RMS has an automatic way to do this. It would be up to the cashier to know what is or is not taxable with EBT and uncheck the taxable box when necessary.
