Hi
Try this
1.To enter the tax amounts of the G/L account items, choose Extras ® Tax amounts. The Tax Amounts screen appears.
You can branch to this screen at any point during document entry.
The Tax Amounts screen shows the tax amount, tax code, posting key, tax base amount, and jurisdiction code for all the items already entered. When you call up this screen after entering the G/L account items, it displays the amounts that have already been entered.
2.You can now choose how you want to enter the taxes.
The tax jurisdiction codes represent the different taxing authorities to which you submit payment for taxes EG: the state, county, city etc. 
In SAP you can have as many as 4 levels. Configuration is done in 2 steps :
First step :
The tax jurisdiction structure (structure of the tax code) is set up with following menu path : 
IMG >Financial accounting> Fi Accounting basic settings> tax on sales/purchases > basic settings > specify structure for tax jurisdiction code.
Alternatively you can use t-code OBCO
This step allows you the enter the character length of your various level of hierarchy within your tax jurisdiction code structure (State 2 char, county 3, city 4, etc...).
Second step:
You configure the tax jurisdiction code using the structure defined earlier, menu path :
IMG >Financial accounting> Fi Accounting basic settings> tax on sales/purchases > basic settings > define tax jurisdiction codes.
Alternatively t-code  OBCP
Define your tax jurisdiction codes, EG GA0000000 for Georgia, GA001000 for Georgia, douglas county, GA001001 for georgia, douglas county, city of lithia springs.
