| I have all the columns opened up, and the tax information isn't there. It
also isn't calculated in the total amount received from buyers.
It definitely shows on invoices, which is where I look for the address when I
know tax was collected, but to find those orders, I have to look through my filed
orders.

Agreed. In fact, there's an extra layer of awkwardness in this set's
inventory - it is the only set from 1985 (and in fact, the first ever)
which lists type 4085b as primary.
It's been 15 years since the original inventory and therefore it'd be
preposterous to ask whether the souce was MISB or not; I strongly suspect
it not to have been so.

Normally old inventories with no source are unreliable when it comes to variants.
This particular submitter, though, is an expert on Classic Space, and when I
have contacted him in the past he has been able to defend all of his old inventories
with sealed set contents.
However, this particular part presents a real problem, because up until just
a few years ago there were not good images showing all the variants side by side.
Even now there are some BL members (certain of them experienced) who have trouble
distinguishing the different types.

In fact, back in 2005 this element was mentioned here (in german): https://www.1000steine.de/de/gemeinschaft/forum/?entry=1&id=165413
as having a b-type since 1986, and a c-type since 1993. That discussion does
not prove anything in itself, and nonetheless... cries "uncommon" regarding b-type
in 1985. Which should be enough for now, as per the current standard 
I'll follow elias3's lead and consider a-type as regular, and b-type
as alternate. Should I submit a brand new request, then?

Hi Jan
no you're wrong...
first 'groove' ones came around 2004
a few weeks ago there was a part change by the admins, all 3794 changed to the
'undetermined type' now a few members do the inventory changes to the
right 3794a type

And I'd say otherwise; in fact, the eighties saw the introduction of grooved
tiles, but not grooved jumper plates.
Which made up for some pretty ugly sides on models - but I digress.
Would you kindly provide one example of one eighties set with a grooved
jumper? In fact, I'll settle for one from the late nineties, and thus consider
your point proven.

Alas, it is not.
For those of us that collect sales tax, having that field in the order download
spreadsheet would be extremely helpful, along with the street address and city/zip

Same for boxes of minifigs where SETS instead of boxes are listed, causing an
