Tax Line Mapping

Thank you for joining us here in the Community, lynstacey.

When creating an account in QuickBooks, the option to edit or add the Tax-Line Mapping selections is unavailable. I recommend contacting your accountant to ensure you select the correct tax line mapping in an account. If you do not have one, you can find one using our  Find an Accountant tool. 

The following steps will route you to an article to further explain why you need to consult your accountant using tax-line mapping. 

1. Go to the Accountant menu.
2. Click Chart of Accounts.
3. Press and hold Ctrl+N on your keyboard to create a new account.
4. Select How do I choose the right tax line?

If you have more questions, don’t hesitate to post them here. I will be more than happy to help. Have a great day!

With all due respect, I don’t need help selecting a tax line.  I just need the option to select the appropriate tax lines.  I’m not sure why the list is incomplete.

Thanks for getting back here in the thread, @lynstacey.

I am also having problems setting up the appropriate tax line.  I need a Sch F and a Sch E.  I do know that they are available in QB desktop because I use them for another files that I have.  How can I add these tax lines?

I appreciate your participation in the Community thread, Joyce. Ensuring an effective tax line mapping process is our top priority. Allow me to assist you in getting back on course.

When configuring Tax-Line Mapping, you typically encounter options like Schedule F and Schedule E. To maintain data accuracy, I recommend utilizing the Verify and Rebuild tool. The Verify tool identifies common issues within a company file, while the Rebuild tool addresses and corrects them.

To verify your company data, follow these steps:

1. Go to Window and select Close All.

2. Click File and then click Utilities.

3. Choose Verify Data.

To rebuild your company file data, follow these steps:

1. Go to File, then Utilities, and click Rebuild Data.

2. Follow the prompts and select OK.

3. Choose where you want to save your backup and click OK.

4. Enter a new name in the File name, and click Save.
