I have a slight problem and online searches don't seem to fit into the issue I'm having, Maybe someone can help.
This is is not about invoice generated sales taxes. I use the Square POS system. At the end of the month I Calculate my sales tax and report it to Dept. of Revenue. Then I manually add it to the Sales Tax for that month in QB.
So here is my issue. I made a mistake and had to amend my Sales Tax report to the the DOR.
The adjusted amount I paid I used a different form of payment to the DOR than the original payment.
When I record the payment in QB it only allows a payment from one source in the tax report.
How do I get QB to accept that I paid from 2 different sources on a sales tax report?
I tried to add an adjustment to the tax report by putting in an expense/payment to DOR... but when I submitted that in QB it subtracted that amount from the original tax payment instead of adding to it making my reported Sales Tax less than its supposed to be. Why is my tax paid and the amount adjusted not adding up?
Thanks for any help!
We want to help you with applying the correct sales tax amounts, @MRBM237.
To record a sales tax payment from multiple sources in QuickBooks Online, you need to split the payment into separate transactions. Here are the steps:
This will create two separate payment transactions for the same tax period, allowing you to record payments from multiple sources correctly.

My only option is to "view Tax Return"
There is no option to "record Tax Payment" once the 1st payment has been recorded.
Once the sales tax has been submitted for that period there isn't an option to "record Tax Payment" again.
Yes, you can't pay a sales tax liability twice, @MRBM237.
What we can do is delete and recreate the payment to record it properly in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Let me guide you through the steps for doing this.
To delete the payment:
Recreate the payment:
Additionally, you can run a sales tax liability report to know how much you owe.

That's exactly what I did and as you can see in my screen shot its not adding up.
I don't have a tax liability report. Its blank. My pos System sends me the reports and I input the sales taxes manually after I reconcile QB.. I don't have an invoice system in my QuickBooks. I don't send bills or invoices or collect sales tax from invoices. I have a retail business. My only sales tax is what I collected from sales in my pos system.
In my screen shot you see I made a payment on 2-23-24 for 2248.57. I added an adjustment payment of 188.08. Now it says my total due is 2060.49. Why did it subtract my adjustment from original payment and not add to it and total them together to show the amount paid between them?
Thanks for your help!
Your sales tax adjustment should be made using an expense account to increase your tax due, MRBM237. It seems that you've selected an income category, which resulted in the payment being subtracted instead of added to the total amount. We'll have to recreate the adjustment to ensure it uses the appropriate account to correct your sales tax payment.
Using the right account type is significant when making adjustments to sales tax to help QuickBooks identify whether to increase or decrease your tax due.
Begin by ensuring that payment (as directed by my colleague above) and adjustment are deleted. Then, recreate the adjustment by following these steps:
Additionally, you'll want to generate the Sales Tax Liability report to view your sales tax details and ensure the accuracy of your records in QuickBooks. You can check out this article for the complete guide: Check how much sales tax you owe in QuickBooks Online.

I'm sorry but no matter what expense acct. I use it does the same thing. It subtracts the adjustment from the original payment. I created an expense acct. named "Sales Tax Adjustment"... That didn't work. I tried the built in expense acct. in QB named "Taxes Paid"... Same results.
