Use Magento Out-Of-Box tax

OOB tax setup for testing:

Magento 2 has useful Out-of-box (OOB) product tax and shipping tax (ship tax) features. This guide shows how to set them up.

Step 1: Stores > Tax Zones and Rates : setup a tax zone e.g. CA or WA, wildcard / * for zip, tax rate e.g. 8.25%

Notice naming conventions, product tax such as `IL_625`, ship tax is `ship_IL_6265`

Step 2: Create Product Tax Rule


  1. Assign Tax Class to Products in Catalog / Products set to Taxable Good (I think this is already set on our DB, or we could set some local for testing)

  2. We may need to disable Avalara in the config / and or disable the entire module for this testing / TBD
