I've had trouble with this too. It seems I must manually correct the tax 
related fields in the variables table. In your admin GUI, go into the 
variables table. On my site, I have the these set as follows:

In TAXAREA I have:
OH

In TAXFIELD I have:
state

In TAXRATE I have:
OH=7.0

Hope that helps
