Got instant savings of $5.00 on the batteries, and $15.00 on the Turbo Tax.

Total came to $84.58

Tax @ 7.0% was $6.98

Total to Credit Card $91.86

Whether you use the original prices ($104.58 = tax $7.32) or the total after the $20 instant savings ($84.58 = tax $5.92) the tax never comes out to $6.98.

Anyone able to figure it out?
I think that the sales tax in Lake County is 6 percent but it still doesn't work.
