Sales Tax Liability Report has a bug

I know this will sound lazy but after using QBO last year for 6 weeks, we moved everything back to QB Desktop where it all works as expected.  We did have to reenter every transaction for those 6 weeks so that was a challenge but QBO was not going to cut it for us, regardless what QB told us.  And unfortunately, I know more than a few companies going back to and staying on Desktop, until they force us to QBO someday.  But then maybe we'll look for a different accounting option.

Sales Tax Liability Report has a bug

Did you ever get this resolved? Everything I have is taxable item (unless of course my customer is tax exempt or direct pay) I have tax exempt lines in the taxable sales column and sometimes I can go in and literally re-enter exactly as I have them and resave and get them to move to the non taxable sales column but this is exhausting and does not always work. I can not use the "based on location" as it doesnt work and it would not work for me because I have well sites that do not have an address (we tried just citys, counties, nothing worked so we don't use that and we manually enter the tax on each invoice but it still shows up how it chooses in the reports

Thanks for joining the thread, @Litman Enterprises.

 

It appears that you've posted the same concern about the sales tax liability report in QuickBooks Online (QBO) to which my colleague has responded. You can check out my colleague's response through this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/employees-and-payroll/re-is-anyone-else-finding-th....

 

We'll be here in the Community if you have further updates about running the report. Take care.

Sales Tax Liability Report has a bug

We too are having major issues with our Sales Tax calculating incorrectly, especially the last 6 months or so. Nontaxable items, unchecked in invoices, etc.. keeping showing as "taxable" in the calculations, but "zero tax amount". It makes our sales tax amount due wrong, and therefore not matching what we actually need to pay. It is not consistently wrong, but  has gotten worse and worse and harder to fix.

 

We've reached out to online support, & have had hours of looking, screen sharing, etc.. with no answers. We too can sometimes go in and delete /re-enter  exactly as we have invoices, resave and get them to move to the non taxable sales column - but is extremely time consuming, and now only works part of the time. We have cleared computer caches, verified all nontaxable line are entered correctly, tax settings correct, locations, etc.. This is a glitch in sales tax calculations and reports. I looked at the other thread your colleague responded to, but that thread issue is not our issue, as it's Re: a location based issue. This is a general sales tax issue for nontaxable items and services. We need this resolved.. please add us to any cases or investigations ongoing. Thank you
