​GF: Recording an item as taxable when it isn't a taxable item could cause
me difficulty if the state audits me.  Recording an item as taxable and not
charging tax for it could also cause me difficulty during an audit.  These
difficulties are things the state may demand explanation for, hassle me
about, waste my time, etc. and I just don't want to risk it.  In business
and in law, if something poses a risk of causing difficulty, it's
considered a liability, as in the state of being responsible for
something.  If something is a liability during an audit, it's an audit
liability.  Not a monetary amount owed due to unpaid taxes, that would be a
tax liability.

As mentioned before, I really like GC!  I've been using it for a few years
and my only complaint is a fussy little issue with the invoicing UI.  I
just think that's great, for a program I get to use for free, get free
support, and upgrades to.  Kudos to all the developers who keep this thing
going!   ​

GF: Please keep your condescension and insults to yourself.  ​
