Glad to learn you're using QuickBooks to streamline your work. The Dashboard is designed to give you an accurate snapshot view of how your business is doing. I'll be glad to share more information on this so you can get back to doing what you enjoy.
The amounts on your Sales graph on the dashboard are based on the sales transactions in your account for the period specified. To answer your question, these amounts include HST. This will not include journal entries posted to your sales accounts and the calculated sales taxes.
Let me know if this info helps. In case you have other questions, feel free to contact our support team using this link here.
