Can i unfile my gst return to edit ?

Hi there,

It's great to have you connect with us here in the Community. I'll be glad to point you towards the right direction so you can achieve your accounting goals. 

The ability to un-file sales tax is available to QuickBooks Online Accountant users. If you have QB Online Accountant version, please follow the steps below: 

1. From the left menu, select Taxes.
2. Select Sales Tax.
3. Select the Returns tab.
4. Locate the sales tax filing that you'd like to un-file.
5. Under the Action column, open the drop down menu to view options.
6. Select Undo filing.
7. A window will appear asking Are you sure you want to go back? Review the information displayed and click Undo filing.
8. A notification will appear next to your open filing, highlighting the date that the return was reopened.

Note:

• You will only be able to un-file the most recent sales tax filing. To un-file a historic filing, you'll need to un-file in reverse date order to reach the desired filing.
• You could receive an error message if you try to un-file after closing the books. In this case, you'll need to temporarily re-open the books in order to un-file.

Check out this article here for more info. Let me know if you have any other questions by leaving a comment below. I'll be on standby.

I dated my GST filing wrong by one darn day and unfiled it... wnet back and all my adjustments for sales and ITCs were gone... Can I get them back?

Hi MarnieLynn,

Before unfiling sales tax, it's important to review any exceptions and print the report.  When you unfile a sales tax return, the exceptions will become regular transactions for the period in which they were recorded.  You may need to issue appropriate adjustments when you refile the tax period.

Let us know if you have other questions.  We would be glad to help!

So I've done this, and it's moved the filings to "Reopened".

From what I've read in support documents and on these threads is that it should have went back to be able to be refiled. Now I cannot do nothing but just look at them. I also cannot delete the journal entries. How can I go back and refile these returns?

The reason for refiling them, is because I clicked the wrong account type and it's made all of my Quickbooks Balances off by those amounts.

Is there a solution to this? I have both Quickbooks Online Accountant and Regular Online access.

I appreciate you for following the steps mentioned by my colleague, Warren. Normally, you can delete the journal entries if you successfully unfile them. Let me outline some troubleshooting steps for you below.

Since you can't delete the transactions I recommend performing some basic troubleshooting instructions to see if it's a browser-related issue. Let's begin by opening your account in an incognito or private browser window and completing the activity again.

Here are the keyboard shortcuts for popular browsers:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Safari: Command + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P

If it works, go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. Clearing the cache or cookies is the best way to start fresh and ensure optimal performance. Otherwise, using other supported browsers can be a good alternative too.

If the issue persists, I recommend contacting our Live Support team. They can open your account and conduct a comprehensive diagnosis in a secure setting. Furthermore, their expertise enables them to identify the cause of the issue and provide the most effective solution. 

Additionally, I've added this article for your future reference in case you want to adjust your sales taxes in QuickBooks: Create or delete a sales tax adjustment in QuickBooks Online.

If you have any further questions about filling, please don't hesitate to visit the Community again. I'll be here to help and ensure that you're taken care of.

2. Click Prepare return.
   
   
   
3. Change the Start date, End Date, and Filing Date fields to your filing period.
4. Select Adjust If you need adjustments in credits, discounts, or corrections.

6. Once done updating the returns, select Mark as filed.
7. Hit Continue.
