I don't think it was the cache because I got the same results on another browser and your windows app. I found that the current tax period isn't shown in "this year" and "last year" but can be found doing a custom range that spans 2023 and 2024. Prior period no longer shows as paid because it is now off by 1 cent. Don't know why or when that happened because it is no longer possible to save archive copies. I hope Intuit gets around to restoring the ability to save archival copies.

I understand the importance of keeping an accurate record of your taxes, KurtP. Let me share some information on this. 

 

To view your previous payments, let's ensure that we are correctly filtering the status to view them and to show your records on these payments. Here's how to do this:

 

  1. Go to Taxes. Select Sales Tax.
  2. Select the correct agency. 
  3. Under Status, filter it to Paid
  4. Under Tax Period Date, select the appropriate date to show your previous payments.

 

Also, in recording sales tax payments, the status of these payments should be either Due or Overdue. Since you are unable to do this, I suggest we run a basic troubleshooting. 

 

This unusual behavior on your account could be due to your browser storing too much cache. First, let's review if this is a browser-related issue. Let's start by opening your account in a private browser as it ignores historical data. 

 

These are the keyboard shortcuts:

  • Mozilla Firefox: CTRL + Shift + P
  • Microsoft Edge: CTRL + Shift + N
  • Google Chrome: CTRL + Shift + N
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N

 

If the error is fixed after this, then the issue is likely caused by your browser. You'll want to clear your regular browser cache. Another option is to use other supported browsers.

 

However, If the issue still occurs after performing the troubleshooting, you'll want to contact our support team and get this behavior investigated further. They have the appropriate tools to check your account securely.

 

I'll also be leaving this helpful resource to learn more about managing your sales tax: Manage sales tax payments in QuickBooks Online

 

Additionally, feel free to visit this article to generate a summary of your taxable and non-taxable sales, plus the total sales tax you collected from customers: Run the Sales Tax Liability report.

 

I'll be on the lookout in the comment section for updates and more follow-up queries on sales tax and other QuickBooks-related matters. Have a good one.
