reporting sales before sales tax

[Claywerx]

I'm a little confused by the sales reports. Our numbers are small, but it's still difficult to see where it's going wrong.

Example: sell something for $35 and collect $2 sales tax....that shows up in the sales summary as $37 in sales and collected $2 in tax.

the only thing I can think of is amount collected-sales tax...but this is confusing my person that is banging this report against the onsite collection of data...showing $35.

Is there no such thing as a report that just shows item sales BEFORE tax?

Thanks!

If I'm understanding this correctly try the following. 

Click on Reports>Item Sales> Then choose the item/category that is highlighted you are looking to view more of.  From there it will open a new report showing all sales for that item/category. 

Within that report you will have  columns will be the gross sales/discounts/net and then the sales tax for the given time period that you have selected.  

Hopefully I understood your question correctly
