I have a typing center business. We receive money from the client and pay to the government. Our revenue is only the service charges. How to properly manage it all in QB

I'm here to help you manage your client payments and government fees effectively for your typing center business in QuickBooks Online, Malik. Let's break down how to set up and record these transactions.

To begin with, set up sales taxes in QBO to handle the government fees accurately. Please note that tax regulations and setups can vary depending on the location and specific situation. I recommend consulting with your accountant to ensure everything is correct.

When recording a transaction, create a sales receipt for the total amount received from the client. Include the service charge related to your income account and the government fees linked with sales tax. This will track your service revenue separately from the government fees you collect and remit.

Here's how:

1. Go to the +New menu.
2. Select Sales Receipt.
   
3. Fill in the necessary information.
4. In the Tax column, choose the appropriate sales taxes.
5. Once done, click Save and close.
