HOW DO I You have returns that need to match HMRC’s records.

Hello, markharris123.

Do you have any VAT submission outside QuickBooks? If so, this could be the reason why you have returns that need to match HMRC’s records. You can correct this by simply marking your VAT as filed in QuickBooks. Here’s how:

1. Go to Taxes from the left menu. 
2. Click VAT at the top and select Prepare return. 
3. Click the arrow next to Submit to HMRC and select Mark as filed. 

For the step by step procedure, please refer to this article:VAT Online Submission direct to HMRC
