Display Price without Taxes when there is a "specific" price

[garyhoffmann]

I have an item that is on sale.  It's normal price is $35.27.  I want to give it a specific price discount of $14.00.  I would expect, because my customer group says to display without taxes, that I would see regular price of $35.27 and the price of $21.27 with a discount of $14.00.  Instead, i am seeing a regular price of $36.86 (price + tax) and a discounted price of $23.54.  So, when someone sees this, the first thing they will think is that the discount isn't really $14.00.  What setting do I need to change to make sure that items with specific prices show without taxes?

Thanks in advance.

Gary.
