I ended up having to get rid of the dialog = null. I also had to move the switching between activeTextView from onCreateDialog(int id) to onPrepareDialog(int id, Dialog dialog).

Below is the updated code.

    @Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    super.onCreateDialog(id);
    Dialog dialog = null;

    switch(id){
    case 1:
        dialog = new CustomCalcDialog(this);
        dialog.setTitle("Enter Shipping %");
        break;
    case 2:
        dialog = new CustomCalcDialog(this);
        dialog.setTitle("Enter Tax Rate");
        break;
    case 3:
        dialog = new CustomCalcDialog(this);
        dialog.setTitle("Enter Commission %");
        break;
    case 4:
        dialog = new CustomCalcDialog(this);
        dialog.setTitle("Calculate Subtotal");
        break;
    case 5:
        dialog = new CustomCalcDialog(this);
        dialog.setTitle("Additional Shipping");
        break;
    case 6:
        dialog = new BackgroundOptionsDialog(this);
        dialog.setTitle("Choose Background:");
        break;
    }
    return dialog;
}

@Override
protected void onPrepareDialog(int id, Dialog dialog) {
    super.onPrepareDialog(id, dialog);

    switch(id){
    case 1:         
        activeTextView = shippingPercent;
        break;
    case 2:
        activeTextView = taxPercent;
        break;
    case 3:
        activeTextView = commissionPercent;
        break;
    case 4:
        activeTextView = productSubtotal;
        break;
    case 5:
        activeTextView = addShipping;
        break;
    }
}
