Join nowI have to record a bill / purchase on which I can see a line dedicated to State and Local Taxes.
I have also another bill on which I see a VAT charged at 19%
Please, let me know how to record these taxes related to an expense, in QB online. I think that it needs to be done.
Is there any possibility to add some additional lines on an accounting entry, directly ?
Thank you in advance !

Hi AnneN,
The tax on your purchases is remitted and filed by your vendor to the IRS, so there is no need to set it up or add it to your transactions. Just enter the items you purchased and the total amount you paid. If you really want to track the tax portion, you can add it to your transactions as another item.
You can verify this with a tax advisor or accountant to make sure your reports are correct.
Let me know if you have other questions in mind.
You've come to the right place, @AnneN.
May I know where your business is operating? You’ll have to set up first the tax or VAT item for purchases in QuickBooks.
Here’s how:
4. Select This tax is collected on purchases.
5. Click Save.
Once done, you can use this item when creating an expense or a bill transaction.
I've added some articles here containing more information about Sales GST/VAT:

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your reply !
We are operating in the US.
Please confirm whether - in this case - it's always relevant to set up taxes on our Profile as you explained in your message.
If yes, regarding other state taxes (but we don't know which ones - it's just not specified on the invoice) - whether it needs to be done as well.

Hello Jess,
Thanks a lot for your help !
Hi Jess,
Thanks a lot for your reply regarding VAT ! I accepted it as a solution.
May I ask you also -
We see a 911 Service Fee on a vendor (phone) bill
Do we need to add a separate accounting entry for this fee ?
Hello @AnneN,
Yes, I'd also agree to create an accounting entry for the service fee of your vendor's bill. You can enter it as an additional line item on the bill when you recording it.
In the same manner, here's an article you can read to learn more about how you can create and pay bills: Enter bills and record bill payments in QuickBooks Online.
On top of that, I've also included this reference for a compilation of articles you can use while working with us: Expenses and vendors for QuickBooks Online.
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know in the comments below. I'll be here to lend a hand.
Hi Jonpril,
Thanks a lot for your message and sorry for the delay in my reply.
I would like to ask you - what is an account (in the Chart of Accounts) to be created that will allow reporting on the 911Fee ? Just before putting the addition line on a bill.
Thanks in advance for your help !
How can I register the tax related to a purchase invoice? the only place I see anything related to taxes is in configuration and only allows me to see taxes related to sales. In other words, if I have an invoice for $100 in products and $13 in tax. How do I register that tax?
