Hi Emma,

As already explained we have never ever used Quickbooks for accounting, but we are being forced into having to use it to make our VAT  return.

Because we have never used the accounting side, the accounts were never closed down at the end of each year; and we have been using it for approx 6 years. Therefor the program is saying there is over a million pounds worth of VAT liability.

I have entered in the last quarters bills and paid them however we need to find out how we can capture the current quarter's VAT given there is a liability of over a million from the 6 years of previous accounts. 

I am  unsure of which account the VAT liability account relates to ie. is this the VAT control or VAT suspense account?

Regards

John
