HI 👋
Sorry but I think I"m missing some context. Can you summarize the current state of your question?
gleaming mortar
yes, 1 sec
Earlier, I asked, "looking for tax calculations API to return a breakdown of the tax by state, county, city, etc. This is not yet possible, right?
Stripe response: just double checking, are you referring to this API object? and do you have a mock / example of exactly what you'd be looking for?
So I'm confirming I am referring to the tax calcuation API object.

The Tax Calculation API will just return the Tax Calculation object defined here: https://docs.stripe.com/api/tax/calculations/object
When you say you want a "breakdown of the tax by state, county, city, etc" do you mean for each individual tax calculation? Like in the tax_breakdown property?
gleaming mortar
yes
currently I believe for US sales tax calculations, it only returns total sales tax at a state level, without the more detailed breakdown, right?
and yes, I mean for individual tax calculations

Looking in the object, I only see tax_breakdown.tax_rate_details.state as the most fine level of detail.
You can extract finer detail from the customer_details.address if present but that might still not be what you are looking for
gleaming mortar
any idea if there are plans to go deeper? TaxJar provides a good example on this.
I don't need details on the address itself - just on the breakdown of the tax. A lot of areas charge a % for state, % for city, % for county, % for district. Clients want to know the details.
https://www.taxjar.com/sales-tax-calculator shows what TaxJar has available on the UI side (which they also have in the API)
If you enter a Texas address of 23930 Spring Mill Ln, Spring, TX 77373-5843, you can see how they break down the rate to the various jurisdictions.

Yes that isn't currently available but there are plans to implement int. I can flag your interest in it.
gleaming mortar
Oh excellent. Thank you for the update.
rose lava
Sure thing! If you want to be kept up to date with any changes we make to the tax_breakdown property, I recommend signing up for the Developer Digest https://go.stripe.global/dev-digest
gleaming mortar
Excellent, will do - is there any estimated date for this release?
rose lava
Not currently, it's still in the planning stages.
gleaming mortar
Fair enough. Thanks for your help today.

Happy to shed what 💡 I can 🙂
