Sales Tax Liability Report is only showing sales tax at 8% and isn't showing 5.5% sales tax

My sales tax liability report is only showing my tax liability figures for sales at 8%.  I have sales at 5.5% that are showing on my P&L but aren't appearing on the liability report and I have no idea why.  I don't pay taxes through the quickbooks sales tax portal, but my accountant schedules the payment based on the liability report so I really want everything to appear there so she doesn't have to go searching.  Any help/guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks for reaching out to us, RCCJessie.

 

I understand how useful it is for you to see all of the tax liability figures when running the Sales Tax Liability report. I've got you covered.

 

When running the Sales Tax Liability report, did you select All in the Tax Agency field? You may have selected only 8% that's why the 5.5% sales tax isn't displayed.

 

If this option is selected, I recommend accessing your QuickBooks Online account through a private/incognito window. Since you may have encountered a cache issue that resulted in unexpected system behavior. This mode can help resolved some browser-related issues as it doesn't use the existing cache files.

 

Here are the keyboard shortcuts: 

 

  • Safari: Command + Shift + N 
  • Google Chrome: CTRL + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: CTRL + Shift + P 

 

Once logged in, run the Sales Tax Liability report. If it displays 8% and 5.5%, let's clear the cache to remove the stored internet files.

 

If private browsing doesn't work, I recommend that you use one of the other supported browsers. They'll provide the best and most secure QuickBooks experience.

 

In addition, I've included these articles to help you personalize and memorize your QuickBooks Online reports:

 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions as you go through the above steps. Have a great day.

Unfortunately for me, I do indeed have "all" tax agencies selected and it looks the same on multiple browsers, even incognito/private windows.

Thank you for the update, RCCJessie.

 

At this point, I would recommend reaching out to our QBO Support so they can check why you only see the liabilities for the 8% rate. They are open on weekdays from 6 AM to 6 PM PT.

 

If you have any other concerns, you can always go back to this thread. Take care and have a good one!
