Hello QuickBooks Support Team,I would like to get clarification about the automatic tax calculation that happens based on the address field. Specifically, I want to know which third-party API or service QuickBooks uses for calculating taxes.When I sync invoices from my application to QuickBooks, the tax calculation based on the address differs from the calculation on my end. Because of this, the totals between my system and QuickBooks invoices do not match by a few dollars.Could you please help me understand how QuickBooks performs address-based tax calculation so I can ensure both systems stay aligned?Thank you.

I have two companines! Yes two not one! That have major errors with the payroll setup.  A QB expert suggested we wait on these two companies to start our payroll until the 3rd quarter so we did.  We had been using desktop payroll for years without any problems.  She said it would make inputting the payroll data easier.  One company was smaller so the information was merged and the other company we tried to merge but the information was so large that the data didn't go over correctly and QB kept telling us their team was working on it so we decided to just start from scartch and use the desktop file for history purchases and the new QBO as a fresh start. I inputed all of the employess from Jan-Sept 30. in company 1.  The conversation with the QB person was we would handle all of the 3Q filing and payments since we were waiting to start paying employees in October.Once the setup was complete I noticed that company 1 needed some adjusted with taxes on a couple of

There is a difference in vacation amount paid and I need to know how to edit and fix it.

A customer asked we charge her card for a specific amount and use her credit for the weekly invoices. But now she asked for a chargeback and the money was debited from the account. How can I record this transaction in QB desktop? And how will the invoices remain unpaid so that I can send them again for her to pay?

Good afternoonI am trying to create a report showing the payment date of an invoice that contains sales tax. Due to the nature of our business, we report only the collected sales tax to the state. So we need to see the invoice, invoice date, and when the invoice was paid to report the sales tax.I have tried the Average days to pay and the Customer transaction report. I have not had success.What I need are these fieldsInvoice number Invoice date Sales tax amount invoice date paidI will appreciate any assistance. right now, I have to go back to 2008 and come forward to discover what sales tax was missed and not paid to the state.

Spreadsheet sync seems like a decent tool until put further to the test.  I would like to pull in all expenses for a specific date range and for a specific general ledger account in order to edit them.  However, Spreadsheet sync forces me to pull ALL expenses for ALL general ledger accounts for the specific date range into Excel before editing them. This takes a long time to for the spreadsheet to load and seems unnecessary.  There doesn't appear to be the ability to filter further by general ledger account (Category) before clicking the "get template" button.  The only alternative is to run it for a shorter date range and multiple times over. 

Hello, our 401K payments are calculated correctly by QB and show up correctly on the Pay Liabilities screen. We send a report into the carrier and they process an ACH, so in QB, I create an E Payment. The calculated amount are correct except that the 401K company adds a fixed processing fee, so ever payroll, I need to manually add this to the check. Does QB Payroll have the ability to add a fixed fee to the same vendor so that I could combine them into a single payment on the Pay Taxes and Liabilities screen? I can't find a way to do this in the 401K setup but I thought there must be a way to set up payroll fees in some manner.  Thank you. 

I have an amount showing up as a vendor. I'd like to find the transaction and correct this. Can I search for that specific amount?

This is my third attempt at posting this because this forum site crashed the first two times. Wonderful. When I try to write journal entries, the columns shift as I move/type and causes the account line to become basically hidden unless I am constantly adjusting the width. If I make the account column wide to try to avoid this, it starts doing it in the opposite direction causing the name & description columns to disappear. What can I do to make sure my column widths stay locked and stop shifting. I am extremely frustrated because this is not an issue I have on QuickBooks Desktop. In fact, none of the problems that exist on QBO happen on QBDT. If you are going to strong-arm everyone, and force us to all shift to QBO as you end support for QBDT in pursuit of endless profits- make sure the program WORKS. Stop pushing out unfinished updates with bugs, stop changing things overnight. Stop removing extremely important tools like Grand Total columns and Batch Entering, and

I do not see  a way to filter by customer type in reports such as open invoices. I created a customer type and assigned to a customer but cannot figure out how to turn on this field for filtering.  Thanks

Hello All,I am trying to apply a yearly pourcentage discount for a customer, that varies depending upon the amount of sales. For this year, the total sales would guaranty a 4% discount. How do I apply the discount on a yearly report? Is that possible?It can not be applied throughout the year because it would vary depending on the sale volumes.I am looking forward to finding an answer.Thank you kindly,Gabrielle.  

A bit of context: I go to tradeshows every few weeks and need to adjust out the quantity of sold hundreds of sold products after every tradeshow. I want the quantity and the COGS to be affected by the adjustment, but I only see a way to manually add items on the "Inventory Quantity Adjustment" page. Is there another way, such as creating an order or something, where I can just import an excel sheet of SKUs and qtys?

My inventory on QB online has not been updated for over 2 years, and when adjusting the inventory on-hand it creates an inventory shrinkage account that equates over $1.3M which is wrong. How do I fix the inventory and get on the right track instead of creating a ginormous expense. 

I'm running Quick Books Desktop Plus Pro 2024 on Parallels with Windows 11 Professional. This is running on my Mac Laptop with M2 Max chip with OS Sequoia 15.7.2. Latest update Quick Books in unstable.....After Uninstalling QB and doing a clean install of QBI open QB and do not select a file.  I get to the updates and get updates.  Starting with update notice that appears after the update has completed.  I get a dialog box with just a ok button and no text.  I restart my VM, relaunch QB, it goes through the updating QuickBooks......  I restart my VM again.  I open QB, the first window QB opens with the logo, display's weird, it grabs a piece of my desktop as background to the logo in a square.  I open an existing file and restore from a backup.  The file opens, I enter the password... The File opens up. I close the file and QB quits. I open QB again and it starts to open but need gets to the opening logo. It just becomes non responsive. Then

Hello!  95% of our customers are Schools/ISDs/Colleges/Universities all over the United States.  Some of them have strict email standards, one of them is my emails must come from a US based server.  I have been on chat for tooooo long & too many times with QBO, and can get no where. My invoice emails aren't getting to some customers and I don't know who until they are late w payment.  I WISH I had time to go through every email I send. The other issue...QBO has a message that says "can't send this email". No matter what I do, they will not go through.  I have to send to myself and forward from there.  This is NOT time efficient and is not fair to my customers. Any ideas?  I'd really appreciate the help.

Hi, I keep getting Error Code: OL-222 when trying to import a bank .qbo file.  I've checked for updates, tried to fix the issue with the QB Tool Hub, and have repaired QB via the Windows Control Panel a couple times. This runs through the repair and says it has been fixed.  When I open QB, it goes through the update process, downloads and installs files, but nothing has fixed it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Using QuickBooks 2020 ProWindows 10 Thanks
