Negative numbers in sales tax revenue summary from negative line items in original invoice - invoice unpaid

Hello A1C,

I want to ensure that I'll provide a more specific answer to your queries. With that, can I have the details below?

1. Aside from Sales Tax Revenue Summary, what other reports you're trying to open?
2. Did you pay the sales tax through the Pay Sales Tax window? Or did you write a check?

Once I have these details, I'll ensure to resolve your concerns.

Hello @A1C,

Re: I am taking credits for sales tax revenue not yet collected.

QuickBooks calculates applied payments/credits per line item.

On partially paid invoices, each line item will show the amount paid according to its ratio of the total invoice amount.

While an item line with a positive amount gets its portion of the payment, a negative amount will show as a negative amount in the Paid Amount column.

In your case, the fact that the total is a negative, indicates that you may have other item lines on this invoice marked as not taxable and therefore, they are not included in the Taxable Sales report.

So there is nothing incorrect from what is visible on this report.

Let us know if this helps and if you need further assistance.
