tax error - tax account not linked

HI 

I'm new to SAGE and accounting in general but starting to get around better. I have  been getting an error message when trying to enter purchases in the GL.

"This transaction uses linked tax accounts, but you have not entered tax information for the transaction. Do you want to process this transaction without entering tax information?"

When I say NO, it opens up a new window and I have to pick out the tax code for it to update the the 2315 account. Text at the bottom said

"A transaction type and a tax code are required. To ensure the correct reporting. Please verify that amounts subject to tax and other taxes charged are correct."

The entry clearly had the 2315 tax account added. I don't know why it's complaining or how it could be automated. Thank you for your help.

    Handling of sales tax is more automated when recording entries from the Purchase Invoice screens.    If you want to see the journal entries that the Purchase module is going to create, press control-J after entering the data.

    It's possible to enter immediately paid transactions in the Purchases screens even before the vendors and inventory items are set up, or to add them as you make entries.
