In sales tax, tax collected on sales and tax paid on purchases are adding up instead of substracting. is there a bug in a recent version update? what can I do to fix it?

The last quarter my sales tax in Quickbooks online was working just fine. the difference on tax paid on purchases and tax collected on sales was what I owed to the government and easy to file. Now for some reason they are adding up and show as a total owing. As far as I know I did nothing different, I entered my expenses as usual and invoiced as usual, was there a recent software update causing this bug? how can i fix it?
