Hello! Did you ever get an answer for this? I recently had to delete a liability check for sales tax because the EFT amount didnt match my check amount.  I was wondering how to enter a new liabilty check without it affecting the future dates and amounts due.  Thank you!

Hello there, mermaidgurl.

Thanks for checking in with us. Let's get this straightened out for you.

You can make a sales tax adjustment. The positive or negative adjustment is determined by the type of account you use on the adjustment. Choosing Expense as an account, creates a positive adjustment, because that is increasing how much you are spending. While choosing Income creates a negative adjustment, because that's less you'll have to pay. Doing this will not affect future dates and amounts due.

Here's how:

1. Go to Taxes on the left menu.
2. Choose Sales Tax.
3. Click Record Tax Payment button.
4. Check the box for Make Adjustment.
5. Enter the payment.
6. Click the Record Tax Payment.

I've got you an article and a screenshot below should you need reference. For the article, you can proceed to Record or adjust a tax payment: Manage sales tax payments.
