Then alas, right now there is no way to determine your taxable
vs. non-taxable sales.  The "Taxable" flag isn't carried over from the
Invoice into the Chart of Accounts, so there is currently no way to
reverse-engineer your taxable income.

One would need to write a report that would iterate over every Sales
transaction, find the associated invoice, and then break break down the
income into taxable and non-taxable.  Such a report does not exist
currently, and would not be "trivial" to write.  Doable, but not a
simple change from an existing report.

So your best bet, for now, if you really need to summerize taxable vs
non-taxable sales is to have two income categories.
