QB Desktop premier - Opening balances for sales tax account

LeeMcQ · ‎January 25, 2022

I have just started using QB for our business. I did not have some of the opening balances available to me when I was ready to proceed. I now need to put in an opening balance for my sales tax owed from the previous year. I have searched and tried to follow some of the articles I have found but none of them seem to apply to QB Desktop premier.

I would really appreciated some feedback on this. It is a real conundrum for me and I am now hung up by this.

TIA!
