Sales tax deductions disappeared when QB did the update about 6 months ago. I was told if I updated to Essentials they would show up but they didn't. Can anyone help?

Hey there, @darrell5. Happy to help out here.

 

It sounds like you were switched to our Automated Sales Tax system at that time. This system automatically calculates taxes on sales forms based on either your Company Address or a Shipping Address (if one is provided). If you notice it isn't calculating, I recommend ensuring you've setup the tax agencies appropriately.

 

If you find that your sales tax still isn't calculating, I recommend reaching out to our QuickBooks Online Support Team. They have tools and resources that will allow them to share your screen and they can check your settings to ensure it's setup appropriately to calculate. Getting in touch is super easy and only takes a few clicks:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. Click Help (?) at the top right.
  3. Hit Contact Us to connect with a live support agent.

 

If you have any other questions for me, just hit the Reply button below. I'll be here to help. Have a wonderful week!

Sales tax is calculating and working but there's no longer a list of deductions which I need when I pay the sales tax.  The deductions used to be listed with amounts for that month, now it just shows the total you owe.

Sales tax is calculating correctly but the there's no longer a list of the deductions.  It used to list the amounts of deductions every month like schools, resale and so on.  I need that list, otherwise I have to manually find them which takes forever and something I shouldn't have to do if I'm using a accounting program like QuickBooks.  Something I didn't have to do until they updated.

Hi @darrell5,

 

You can pull a sales tax liability report to view the details of your sales tax deductions. Let me walk you through how.

 

  1. Go to Reports, then type "Sales Tax Liability" in the Find report by name field.
  2. Change the Report period to Custom.
  3. Click Run report.

Please see these articles for more information about:

 

I'll me around if you need help with anything else. Thanks for coming back and have a great day.

Yes, that's what I've always done and that showed me the deductions 6 months ago but after the update the deductions are no longer listed.  Just the tax amount you owe.  July of 2019 was the last month that actually listed out your deductions.  I'm guessing after that QuickBooks had the update and now the deductions are no longer listed.

Thanks.  I've already talked to two different people from QuickBooks and they've shared my computer and can't figure it out.  Was hoping posting in here would work.
