how do i record TDS payment paid to the Govt.

Hi Ashwin,

Welcome to QuickBooks Community!

To record the TDS in Invoice and track when you receive payment, the customer needs to be TDS enabled. Please follow the below steps to enable the customer for TDS.

Enable TDS for Customers

To enable TDS for customers, while creating a new customer, enter the customer's PAN number and check the box TDS Applicable, which is available under the Tax info tab. For enabling TDS for already existing customers, follow the steps below:

1. Select Sales or Invoicing from the left menu.
2. Select Customers at the top.
3. Click on the name of the customer for whom you want to enable TDS and click Edit.
4. In the customer information pop up, click on the Tax info tab and enter the PAN number and check the TDS Applicable checkbox.
5. Click Save.

Once TDS is enabled for a particular customer, while creating the invoice for that customer, you will get option to select the TDS section and enter the TDS amount applicable in that invoice.
