Review your total sales with Pre-file check
Pre-file check helps you review your total sales for accuracy before you file your sales tax return, so you can catch and fix differences ahead of time.
What Pre-file check does
When you open Pre-file check, it:
Compares the income on your profit and loss report with the total sales on your sales tax return.
Shows you where those two figures don't match.
Lists the specific transactions contributing to the difference.
Suggests how to resolve each flagged item.
Lets you ignore differences that you've confirmed are valid.
Pre-file check doesn't change your transactions automatically — you choose what to update.
What Pre-file check doesn't do yet
Pre-file check currently focuses on confirming your total sales. It doesn't yet flag detailed sales tax calculation issues — that's planned for a future update.
Why this matters
Reviewing your numbers with Pre-file check before you file can save you time compared to manually comparing reports, and it helps you catch and fix issues before they end up on a filed return.
