Hi!
A little bit of background... I took over as the general office manager of a newer company in March of this year. I have very little book keeping experience, and things have gotten far more confusing than I am able to manage. I have been in contact with our company's accountant and he is not fully able to help with the specific intricacies regarding GST in the specific situation we are in.
We filed our GST in QB in January and then locked our books for the accountant following that.
For every month following, until we had our books back in June, we manually calculated our GST return/refund.
Our problem is now that we have our books back, and we went through and made the changes our accountant told us to make to finalize 2019. As a result, all of our manual calculations and filed refunds/returns do not match what QB now says they should be.
We went through and modified all of the filings in QB to match what we submitted to the CRA, and now we have a 13K credit sitting on our GST account in QB. And, we have a 12K amount owing from April 2019 as well that we can't figure out where it came from.
So, my question is twofold...
1) what do I do with the 13k credit on the account? (is this a refund I need to file for?)
2) how do I deal with the 12k owing from april?
