Sales Tax in QBO

Hi, 

 

This month my sales tax report is incorrect but the invoices show the correct amount.  I'm wondering why this happened.  Please see screen shots in attachment example is invoice #1277.  6% state sales tax rate x the taxable amount of 5760 is showing wrong on the sales tax report but correct on the invoice.    Thanks in advance for any help.

Sales Tax in QBO

I understand how crucial it is to ensure the sales tax amount on your report and invoice matches, MEGO1, especially in keeping your books accurate.

 

I appreciate you for sharing a screenshot to determine its cause. I'm here to ensure this gets sorted out.

 

First, let's review the Accounting method used in your report. It could be the cause of why there's a discrepancy. If the state wants you to report sales tax based on a cash basis, then the report also needs to be on a cash basis.

 

You can switch the report from cash to accrual basis and vice versa to get the exact result. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports tab, then search for Sales Tax Liability Report
  2. Select Customize.
  3. Set the dates and switch the Accounting method to Cash or Accrual.
  4. Make sure all the filters are correct.
  5. Click Run report to apply the changes.

Then, compare the figures. You can also check out these articles as your guide while managing sales taxes:
