Why is the sales tax liability report inaccurate?

The report does not list the taxes in the correct county, but the invoice does list the county tax correctly.

Why is the sales tax liability report inaccurate?

Let's figure out why there are inaccuracies in the Sales Tax Liability report and fix it, Kadoctoe.

A system-related issue can prevent the report from displaying the correct sales tax data. So, I'd like to know what county isn't displaying the correct taxes on the report, so I can check our system for details and solution. Though, a simple cache-related issue can also prevent the sales tax data from being listed correctly. In this case, I can recommend some troubleshooting steps to fix this. A browser cache issue can cause reports to show inaccurate data. We'll want to sign in through your browser's incognito mode and run the Sales Tax Liability report (this won't use the current cache data).

Here's how:

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

If running the Sales Tax Liability report through the incognito mode shows the correct taxes, proceed to clear your browser's cache

You can also consider using other devices and supported browsers to ensure everything is working as expected.
