Sales Tax Adjustment is not adjusting Amount Due

Hi SpartanOffroad. Thanks for coming to the community. It sounds like there may be some data damage.

I suggest you check out the article on running a verify and rebuild. If you run into anything during the process just let me know and I'll be glad to help. Have a great day. 

I forgot to mention that I checked the data already...."QuickBooks detected no problems with your data"

Hi SpartanOffroad. Thanks for the reply. In this case, there may be something else going on. I recommend you reach out to the phone support team. You can find an up to date call-in number at the Intuit Support page. Have a great day 

After spending over 2 hours between Chat and on Calls with representatives that insist on reading me the instructions that I've already followed, I think I'm going to lose my temper.  Does anyone out there have Desktop 2020 Pro that can see if they are able to recreate this issue? I believe it is a bug, and have submitted feedback via "Send Feedback Online" option within my software, but since my name & email address are "optional" I doubt anyone is getting back to me anytime soon. 
P.S. The representative I was on the phone with put me on hold 20mins ago so she could transfer me to someone else. I'm pretty sure she isn't going to help OR transfer me and is hoping that I will just hang up.

I have run in to the same problem with sales tax adjustments not adjusting the amount due.. I chatted with someone as well that was of absolutely no help.

I also had an issue last week with my payroll tax e-payments not going through, even though QBs says they were processed by the tax agency. Again, I spoke with someone who had no answers.

I have used QBs for many years for another company. This company is new and I've had more issues here that I've had in all my years of using QBs.

This isn't the kind of service you'll want to experience, pwstill.

Allow me to help you adjust the sales tax due. There's a possibility that you're using Sales Tax Payable for the adjustment account. That's why it's not making the changes.

You need to choose an Income account if you're adjusting the discount or credit you've received. On the other hand, select an Expense account if you need to add penalties and fines or if you are entering a positive rounding error.

Let me outline the steps on how to adjust.

1. Go to the Vendors menu and select Sales Tax then Adjust Sales Tax Due.
2. In the Sales Tax Adjustment window, enter the adjustment date, sales tax vendor, adjustment account, and other relevant information.
3. In the Adjustment section, choose if you need to increase or reduce sales tax then enter the adjustment amount.
4. (Optional) In the Memo field, enter any additional notes.
5. Click OK.

About your payroll tax e-payment, please know that the agency can accept the payment earlier. But, they'll only debit your bank account on the Withdraw On Date you've entered.

For example, if you send an e-payment on 01/15, you can enter a Withdraw On date for 01/31. The agency can accept the payment earlier, but won't debit your bank account until 01/31. 

You can find more details about this through this article: Understand e-payment dates in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced.
