How can I properly enter sales tax on a split transaction on a receipt in QBO?

When entering details for multiple lines for a split transaction, the total at the bottom initially displays the receipt total INCLUSIVE of tax, but once the net cost for the 1st line is entered EXCLUSIVE of tax, the total at the bottom reverts to the 1st cost and proceeds to add the costs of the individual lines so the total no longer includes tax and doesn't match the receipt.

How can I properly enter sales tax on a split transaction on a receipt in QBO?

Hi Davecat1,

 

Welcome back to the Community. I trust that business is going well on your end. I'll be glad to elaborate more in regards to entering sales tax on split transactions. 

 

What you've described is the way the program was designed to handle the sales tax when entering transactions. Here are the reasons that cause for transactions not to match: 

 

  • The amounts don't match
  • The payment has been reconciled
  • The transaction is already matched to another transaction

I recommend double-checking with these variables to make sure you're on the right track. In case you need hands-on guidance with a visual reference, contacting our support team via phone would be the best way to proceed. You can get in touch using the contact details in this link here

 

I'll be one message away in case you have other questions. Otherwise, I wish you a great rest of the day.
