BOE Taxes: Total Gross Sales

I'm trying to do my BOE taxes and I'm confused. I called the BOE to ask about total gross sales. I was told  I need to include all sales in my total gross sales  even if if was sold out of state (California). So, I input my total gross sales and did my deductions, and I still get charged California statewide tax for all my sales which includes the sales to out of state customers. I only charge sales tax for California sales. Does anyone know why statewide California tax  is applied to all sales instead of just the sales made in California?

Then, you did it wrong.

 

'Sales in Interstate or Foreign Commerece' is a deduction.  It gets subtracted from the 'Total Taxable Transactions'.

Not saying 'NO' doesn't mean 'YES'.

The foolishness of one's actions or words is determined by the number of witnesses.

Perhaps if Brains were described as an APP, many people would use them more often.
