Taxjar Error "Tax was Recalculated....."

Post by peteuga »

Hello,
We are getting the following error code when customers are trying to checkout thus preventing them from checking out.
"Tax was recalculated due to better address information"

We are using Taxjar for tax calculations.

We are in Georgia and collect tax for Georgia. The error code does not seem to be affecting other states that we don't collect tax in. We first noticed the error 3 days ago.

Help is appreciated.

Tax is initially calculated based upon the zip code entered on the checkout screen. It is then recalculated after the billing information is entered and the shopper goes to complete the order. If TaxJar then says that the rates have changed based upon this added information then the message " Tax was recalculated due to better address information" is displayed with the recalculated rate. At that point, the shopper then again finalizes the order and it completes. I assume they tried to do this and were stuck in a loop? Do you have their address information and can you try to duplicate that problem?

We tried to place both orders for the customers over the phone and it gave us the same error each time.

Could you private message me the products and the shoppers address information so we can see the problem? We have not been able to duplicate the issue even when we generate the "Tax was recalculated due to better address information" error in our test environment.
