Sales tax payable 2 liability accounts

Hi there, @Susan607.

You can change the Account name of the imported files from your new Sales tax payable account to your old *Sales tax payable account by going to the 

register of the newly created account. I'll show you how:

1. Open the register of the new Sales tax payable account.
2. Go to the transaction.
3. In the Account field, enter the correct account (*Sales tax payable) account.
4. Save the changes.

For future reference, you can also check QuickBooks for Mac Manual to help you how to transfer transactions if it has already been reconciled. 

Please don't hesitate to comment below if you need anything in regards to QuickBooks. I'll be here to help. Stay safe out there!

Thank you Stephanie.  I do know how to change the account names.  My difficulty is updating all the reconciled transactions with the old Sales Tax Payable account to the default account *Sales Tax Payable.  I've too many transactions imported to the old Sales Tax Payable account to do manually.

I there a way I can update all those transactions to be recorded to the *Sales Tax Payable account.  Currently I have these two accounts listed on my balance sheet.  Thank you for your help with this.  It's greatly appreciated. -Susan

Thanks for your prompt response, @Susan607.

Make sure to edit the transactions, change the Sales Tax code that you use if you wish to allocate it on the correct sales tax account.

I've added screenshots below to get the transactions and future transactions posted to the right sales tax account.
