Accrual of income showing on P&L Cash basis reports for tax

Let's get everything sorted out about the data on your reports, ok9.

It seems that you're referring "accrual of income" as invoices. Invoices will only appear on the Profit and Loss (Cash basis) report if they are paid within the Report period.

Accrued revenue is usually recorded as invoices in QuickBooks Online. They will not appear in the Profit and Loss (Cash basis), unless you pay them.

That's how we do it in QuickBooks Online. It is also best to speak with your accountant to determine another way of recording the accrued revenue. 

Meanwhile, the unpaid taxes showing in the Sales Tax Center are based on the Accounting method set on your company settings.

Your company's Accounting method is set to Accrual. Hence, the unpaid taxes showing in the Sales Tax Center are for unpaid A/R. 

You can do either of the following:

• Change the company's Accounting method to Cash. Then pay the sales taxes.
• When paying the sales taxes, enter the amounts manually. You can use Sales Summary (cash basis) report as reference.

Here's a link that may help you differentiate the difference between cash and accrual that affect sales taxes: How Cash and Accrual accounting affect sales tax.
