GST correction

How to adjust GST payment filed already as one of the vendor bill with GST will have to be deleted after filing done.  If I just delete this bill, would QB calculate/reflect adjustment for Line 103 or 104 in the next filing period?  Anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi seymour, 

 

Welcome to the Community! QuickBooks makes it simple to keep track and manage your GST. . I'll be glad to share more information so you're on the right track. 

 

Based on the details you've shared, you'd need to unfile the taxes in QuickBooks in order to reflect the correct info going forward. Before we get started, it's important to note that only accountant users can unfile taxes on an account. If you're using QB Online Accountant, follow these steps to unfile your return: 

  1. From the left menu, select Taxes.
  2. Click on Sales Tax.
  3. Navigate to the Returns tab.
  4. Locate the sales tax filing that you'd like to un-file.
  5. Under the Action column, open the drop down menu to view options.
  6. Select Undo filing.
  7. A window will appear asking Are you sure you want to go back? Review the information displayed and click Undo filing.
  8. A notification will appear next to your open filing, highlighting the date that the return was reopened.

For further steps on this, check out this article here: How do I un-file a sales tax return?

Thank you kindly for your prompt response. Is there a simpler way to correct this situation without un-filing as I really don't like to go thru un-filing drill? I am not that confident going through un-filing and re-filing procedures but, like I asked, if I just delete this particular vendor bill ($787.50 with GST $37.50 bill date: Dec.27, 2021), will this GST amount show up on the previous quarter's GST Paid Report, so then I can adjust in line 107 (Adjustments) when I am filing the next quarter GST filing?

I see what you're saying. If you'd like, you can delete the vendor bill as QuickBooks will automatically account for that amount on your GST Paid reports. I highly recommend getting in touch with an accounting professional to make sure you're on the right path with this. Feel free to ask other questions, I'm here to steer you in the right direction so you can achieve your QuickBooks goals.
