GST must have been posted wrong because amount does not show up as o/s on GST tax report and doesn't show up on vendor account, but shows as open balance on A/P aging report. How do I get it odd the A/P aging report - it has been paid!

Thanks for joining us here, LauriePB2658. Let me provide some help with your tax-related concern.

Since the amount is sitting on your A/P Aging Report but is not recorded as an outstanding GST liability, it suggests the payment was recorded as a generic liability payment, or a simple expense, leaving the original bill open.

You need to find the transaction that paid the GST amount and correct how it was entered. Here's how:

1. Go to the Vendor Center.
2. Find the vendor associated with the GST amount.
3. Review their transactions and find the original Bill that created the A/P balance. Take note the date and the exact amount of the GST owing.

Once done, let's locate the payment by following these steps:

1. Go to your Chart of Accounts and open the register for the bank or credit card account from which the GST payment was made.
2. Find the payment made on or around the due date for the GST amount.

If the payment was recorded as a Bill Payment, it was likely not properly applied to the specific outstanding Bill. Open the transaction and ensure the correct GST Bill is selected in the Payment Details window. If it was already applied, skip this section.

If the payment was recorded as a Check (Cheque) or Expense, this is the most likely the cause of the issue. Follow these steps to make the correction:

1. Open the Cheque or Expense entry.
2. Proceed to the Expenses tab of the Check/Cheque, the payment was likely mapped directly to a Tax Payable account (like GST/HST Payable) or a generic Expense account.
3. Delete the entry from the Expenses tab.
4. Go back to the Vendors menu, then select Pay Bills.
5. Select the correct GST Bill and enter the payment information (Bank Account, Date, etc.) here. This will properly link the payment to the Bill, clearing the A/P balance and removing it from the A/P Aging Report.

After that, run the GST tax report and review vendor account to check if everything is now in order.
