pulling tax rate from another sheet
Here's a simpler formula that will work
=VLOOKUP(F2,'Table 1'!$C$2:$D$591,2,0)
As noted by Peter and Sergei, though, you have some cities missing from your table, so you'll get an #NA on occasion
You also need to convert the format of that cell (the whole column actually) to "number" or "general"--as you posted it, so presumably as you have it, it's formatted as "Text" and then will do exactly what it's been doing, show you your formula as text.

- Thank you so much!!! That worked. I received the Paypal file from someone else and didn't even think to check the formatting on that column. It seems some of the cities are not in the other file so either Paypal made an error or my friend did when she downloaded it and removed all data except for GA. I'll have her double check it. I don't know where she got the list sheet from either so who knows, lol.
Thanks so much!!!
