Tax-Line Mapping has nothing in it?

I am a bookkeeper with 5-6 clients.

I just started a new client, and set him up as a single-member LLC, Form 1040. I need to do his Form 1040, and I went to set up the tax accounts, but the drop-down menu on "Tax-Line Mapping" has only "<Unassigned>" and "<Not Tax Related>" That's not helpful!

I've done this a million times. (Okay, maybe only a dozen.) Usually, the drop-down menus allows me to select the correct line based on the form from set-up.

What happened, and more importantly, how do I fix it?

Tax-Line Mapping has nothing in it?

Thanks for reaching out to the Community,

 

When setting up tax accounts in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), you should be able to pick the correct line based on the form set-up in the Tax-Line Mapping drop-down.

 

To check any issues, let's run the QuickBooks built-in diagnostic and repair tools called rebuild and verify data utilities. These will repair and notify you of any possible data damage within the file.

 

  1. Go to File menu at the top to get to the Utilities and Rebuild Data.
  2. Choose OK. Follow the prompts to save a backup.
  3. Click OK once completed.
  4. Now, go back to File, then Utilities, and select Verify Data this time.

If the system detected no problem, hit OK and continue to set up the tax account. However, if it finds an issue, you will be prompted to Rebuild Now or View Errors. Choose Close, then perform the steps below.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Locate and check the QBWin.log or QuickBooks.log files.
  2. Scroll to the bottom for the most recent Verify information.
  3. Find the line that contains the LVL_ERROR, then check Top data damage errors in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

For more information about the process, consider checking out this article: Resolve data damage on your company file.

 

Please let me know if you have any other issues or concerns by leaving a comment in this thread. I'll be more than willing to help. Have a wonderful rest of the day!
