How to record company income tax returns refund in quick books?

Hi Deepika338,

Thanks for posting in the Community! Have you enabled Company income tax (PAYG Instalments) option on your tax settings? If yes, you can record the payment or refund by going to GST tab. When your activity statement is lodged, QuickBooks will automatically post a journal entry against the PAYG Instalment Liabilities account and the ATO Clearing account. Therefore, any payment recorded in GST tab will reflect on the ATO Clearing account. 

On the other hand, you can also enter the company income tax refund in QuickBooks Online via journal entry. However, it would be best to consult an accountant to ensure that you've allocated it to the correct category.
