1. Go to the General Ledger work center.
2. Go to the Journal Entries view.
3. Search for Journal Entry XYZ. (XYZ = Journal Entry ID)
4. Select the Journal Entry.

See that there is no posting line for tax value.

If you check the Source Document (in this case, the Payment Allocation), and go to the tab 'Allocation to G/L Account', you have two lines: One line in Debit, and one line in Credit. Both lines have the same Tax Amount.

There is no tax value in the Journal Entry XYZ because, in the Allocation to G/L Account, the sum of both Tax Amounts result in zero.

You can also see in the table Tax Totals, at the bottom of the page, that the Amount is zero, hence no tax amount will appear in the Journal Entry XYZ.

This is the expected system behavior.
