In QBO, I created an expense for Corporate Tax. However, when I log an expense into this, it counts against Profit, but tax should not be considered in Gross Profit...?

Hi PuraVida577,

An expense decreases a corporation's retained earnings (which affects the gross profit). You'll want to change the expense account to a different one. 

Here's how:

1. Click Expenses on the left menu.
2. Go to the Expenses tab. 
3. Locate for the transactions.
4. Under the Action column, click Edit to change the account
5. Click Save and Close.

To guide you on what category to choose, I recommend reaching out to your accountant.

For future reference, you can run a report for a specific account. Here's an article for more information: Run Reports.

Please touch base with me here for all of your QuickBooks needs, I'm always happy to help.

Yes I know how to do all this.  My point is that QB does not have an option for entering TAX costs.  That is the question, and hence why I asked the community, I'm looking for an answer on how to do it technically, not how to do it from an accounting perspective.  I know how to record taxes from an accounting perspective, it appears QB does not have the option to do so?
