GST: when entering a vendor invoice the GST goes to an expense account, how do I change the setting so it goes to the GST Liability account?

Hi ryan90,

I appreciate you reaching out to the Community. I'd be glad to share more info about entering a vendor invoice so it affects the GST liability account. 

At this time, QuickBooks automatically creates your Chart of Accounts for you. Changing the account where your GST posts isn't a feature yet in QB Online. I know how important this feature is for you and your business and I encourage you to send this as feedback to our engineers. You can do this by clicking the Gear icon and looking Feedback. 

New product ideas and improvements are largely based on the feedback we get from users like you. Let me know if you need anything. I'm here to help get you on track so you can get ahead with your work. Otherwise, fee free to contact our support team using this link here. 

Hi ryan90:

Taxes should not go against the expense unless you're entering them as a separate line on the invoice.  Have you setup your taxes in QBO yet?  Go to Taxes -> Manage Sales Tax.  Then when entering an invoice you should be able to enter the original expense amount, identify it as inclusive or exclusive of tax.  Be sure to mark items as Tax(Purchase) or it will show up in your sales summary.

Hope this helps!

Lance.
