Hello there, @I Otter Be.
I'm here to help you today so you'll be able to use the Avala when paying sales tax in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Yes, you can create a wash account and use that account when paying the sales tax manually. Let me help guide you how.
First, create a wash account:
- Click on the Gear icon.
- Select Chart of Accounts under Your Company.
- Click on New.
- Fill in the desired information under Account.
- Add/enter the account name (Wash Account/Avalara) under Name.
- Enter the balance under the Balance section.
- Click Save and close.
For additional reference about creating a new account in QBO, you may check it here: How to create a new parent account or subaccount.
Once done, select the account created when paying the sales tax by clicking on the drop-down arrow beside Bank Account.
That should do it. To learn more about sales tax, you may check these articles:
