Based on Oklahoma law, we cannot tax exempt LBW taxes. Toast does not have a way to do that. How are other restaurants handling this situation? I still haven't managed to come up with a viable workaround.

Assuming LBW is liquor, beer, wine...
When we have customers who want to use tax exempt for their meals but not their LBW, we split the check and apply the tax exempt to the food bill and not the LBW. That way they have separate receipts for expense purposes as well, and usually pay for the LBW with a personal card.

Thanks for reaching out to the community! What if you duplicate your menu and create a separate menu/menu group for “taxed” vs. “tax-exempt” versions?

Doesn’t help me track what I have to report to the state. Also, it’s ride with possibility for mistakes or fraud.

Fair, since I'm not from OK and have no idea what your reporting requirements are. 🙂 I hope you figure out a solution.

I like the idea you put forth, as a workaround. It isn't clean, and requires paying attention, but it is better than using Open Items to account for the tax.
