Answers.Text: This is awesome! Thanks for the intensive writeup. I've been lurking around the CiviCRM tax issue for the better part of 8 years and even went so far as to write a somewhat limited extension to handle taxes before the concept of accounts arrived. I knew there was a method for this but I really needed someone to document it.

Answers.Text: Hi Karen. Yeah, I know... 8yrs. Yikes is right. I know how to do some very specific things in Civi well. I can build extensions and extend Civi and expose all sorts of Civi things to Drupal but my weak point is the Accounts part. I'll be making an effort this year to wrap my head around that. Cheers.

  You can do this with Price Sets. I'll document the entire set up:
  
  1. Go to Administer -> CiviContribute -> CiviContribute Component Settings
     and check the box Enable Tax & Invoicing (Tax = Sales Tax; Invoicing you get as a bonus)
  2. Go to Administer -> CiviContribute -> Financial Accounts
     and create one Financial Account for each Sales Tax Rate
  
  Ignore Tax-Deductible - it is not related to Sales Tax; it potentially could be used to track whether monies are deductible for Income Tax purposes but I don't recommend it [there are other ways to track that; will document that at some point]. Click Is Tax -> (Tax = Sales Tax) and enter the Tax Rate right below it.
