GST/HST return filing

  • February 3, 2020

I'm trying to file my December 31, 2019 (last year) gst/hst return, but the sale tax area only gives me the option to file for 2020. When I first started using qbo, i had the various fiscal years available to file. How do I get the 2019 tax year showing as unfiled? QBO shows the next to file is 2020.

    Hi there, 

     

    It's important your get the assistance you need with recording your returns in QB Online. 

     

    If you've filed you taxes before, you can manually change the filing date and I'll show you how. To do this, click the Taxes tab on the left menu > Sales Tax > Prepare Return and adjust the dates accordingly. Based on what you've described, you may also want to take a look at your filing frequency and make sure it aligns with your business. 

     

    Note: Your filing frequency can differ between your federal and provincial return. Make sure you're editing the right filing frequency.

    1.     Select Taxes from the left menu.
    2.     Select Sales Tax at the top.
    3.     Click on Manage Sales.
    4.     On that page, click the drop-down arrow beside Add Rate.
    5.     Select Edit Agency Settings.      

    Try the steps above and let me know how you make out. In case you have other questions, feel free to contact our support team using this link here.

    I have same problem.

    I'm trying to file my annual GST/HST return for 2019

    There seems to be no way to do this. The only open return is for 2020 which I will file in 2021.

    Attached is the screenshot.

    Hey Caroline,

     

    The sales tax centre is an insightful hub, which streamlines the way you file your taxes. QuickBooks Online tracks each transaction in the background to provide you with consistent and accurate returns, saving you time and money. By default, this is forward-looking to give you an overview of the next return to file. If you've already marked a return as filed, this will always be the period immediately following that one. If you've never marked a return as filed, the system will try to show you the most relevant/current one. You can easily edit the start and end dates after clicking on Prepare return to file for the required period. 

     

    Let me know how this goes!
