What is the proper way to tape an inside corner of sheetrock where the
corner meets the ceiling? Do I run the vertical tape all the way up
to the ceiling? Or, do I run the horizontal tape all the wat to the
corner? Or, does it really matter?

I'd run them both into the corner and overlap them.

I always run the vertical piece first, then I butt the horizontal piece
right up to the edge of the vertical tape.I would avoid any overlapping of
the tape and you should be fine.

The tape pieces should overlap.

That makes it easier to smooth in the short term, but more prone to cracking
in the long term.
