Hello,
I have started a new Quickbooks for Mac file and when running my first Verify Data I am getting the messages:
Verify Target: Improper type with sales tax code. Rcrd = 211. Ref = 2
Verify Target: Improper type with sales tax code. Rcrd = 216. Ref = 1
There are a lot more lines similar to these showing different record numbers, probably for all the sales receipts I have created.
I have 2 Sales Tax entries in my items list, one for Out of State which I do not collect tax for and one for in state for which I do collect tax. The account for each is Sales Tax Payable. All my receipts are either Out of State or my state sales tax.
In my Account list, Sales Tax Payable is assigned to Other Current Liabilities.
I have attached screenshots of partial sales receipts in case it offers a clue. I suspect I have made a mistake when setting up my Sales Tax but I am not sure what to look for and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Run the Verify/Rebuild Data utility more than once. If the same error persists, chat Support and ask them to fix the file. Another option, you can purchase a 3rd party file repair service.
Thank you LollyNino_C, that took care of it.
