Question

If I have tax payments categorized as "State tax" and "Federal tax" categories, why isn't it showing in my Schedule C transactions or my Profit & Loss?

Hello there, @jbbriley78. The option to show your State and Federal tax payment in the Profit & Loss report is currently unavailable.

 

The reason your tax payments don't appear in the Schedule C tax report or Profit & Loss report is that certain tax-related categories are not available in QBSE and are working as designed. These include state and federal taxes, assets, estimated taxes, and home office expenses.

 

If you'd like to have this feature available in your report, I recommend switching to QuickBooks Online, which may better suit your needs.
