How do edit a previously closed/file sales tax from last fiscal year?

Hi there, 

 

You've reached the right place for assistance. I'll be happy to steer you in the right direction with your sales tax. 

 

The Make Adjustment Option is used to decrease or increase the amount of Sales Tax owed. For example: credits, discounts, fines, interest, penalties, and corrections for rounding errors all count as adjustments. Here are the instructions which show you how to create an adjustment: 

 

 

  1.         Go to the Sales Tax menu, click Manage Sales Tax and then click Adjust Tax Owing.
  2.         Choose an Adjustment Date.
  3.         Fill in the Entry No. field.
  4.         (Optional) If you track classes, select a class for this adjustment.
  5.         Click the Tax Agency drop-down list and choose the agency to which the adjustment applies, such as Receiver General.
  6.         Click the Sales Tax Item drop-down list and select the sales tax item for the return line you want to adjust, such as GST Adjustments.
  7.         Click the Adjustment Account drop-down list and choose an account.
  8.         In the Amount section, enter the amount of the adjustment.
  9.         (Optional) Enter a memo to describe the adjustment.
  10.         Click OK.

Let me know if you have other questions. I'll be on standby. Otherwise, enjoy the rest of the week!
