# Tax status

The tax status field in the invoice record is used to track the current status of tax validation processing throughout the tax integration workflow.

## Invoice tax status fields

The following table displays the tax status \[tax\_status\] fields in the invoice record \[sn\_shop\_invoice\]:

|Field|Description|
|-----|-----------|
|Invoice table|
|In progress|Tax calculation request sent to third party tax engine and awaiting response.|
|Failed|Tax calculation failed due to tax engine integration failure.|
|Success|Tax calculation completed and tax lines created successfully.|
|Integration error|Tax engine connectivity or communication failure occurred.|
|Recalculate tax|Invoice header or invoice line needs field changes, invoice tax status changes to recalculate tax. The invoice is sent for tax revalidation manually or through scheduler.|
