Topic: Some orders aren't taxing

We get 1-2 orders per week that should charge tax, but don't.

It's always from zip codes that have 2 or more rates / lines to pick from.

When I try to re-create the problem using the customers addresses, sometimes the drop-down menu won't appear at all until I switch zip codes to something random and then back again.
(This happened with 98362 which has 10 options.)

I can't find anything consistent between the orders that don't charge tax, except that their zips all have 2 or more rates to choose from.

We're using this table: WA_complete.csv in the usual location.

This isn't a new problem. It's been happening for a year or 2.

Any suggestions to fix this? Customers don't like it when their order is higher than quoted online ... but we don't like eating 9% of their order.

Thanks for any ideas!
