Click Taxes on the left menu, then click on Add Tax.
On the pop-up, choose Custom Tax.
Enter the details required. Then, make sure to select the Tax collected on Sales box.
Tap Save.
You can now select it when recording sales transactions. Another way to set up the TCS is to add a new product item. Here's how:
From the Sales menu, select Products and Services.
Click the New button and choose Non-Inventory or Service.
Enter Sales Tax name in the Name and Description fields and leave the Sales price/ratefield blank.
In the Income accountfield, choose a liability account that you'll use to track the TCS.
Make sure the Is taxable box is unchecked, tap Save and close.
Once done, you can add this item to the invoice and manually enter the TCS amount. Please note that with this method, you won't be able to pay this tax through the tax center. To record a payment, just create a check. Also, go to your Chart of Accounts and review the liability account to see the tax owed.
You also want to reach out to your accountant to see if they have a different way on how to enter TCS in QuickBooks Online. For more tax-related articles, visit this link: Tax for QBO.
