Thank you for reaching out, Janet. I understand how challenging it can be to encounter issues when preparing your PST return, causing your tax owing to be higher than expected. Let me connect you with the appropriate support team to help you get back on track. This way, you can effectively manage your sales tax again.

 

If you accidentally entered the PST commission as a positive number instead of a negative one, you can resolve this by unfiling or making adjustments to your PST return. However, only an accountant has the authority to unfile or make the necessary corrections to your file. If you don't have an accountant, I recommend contacting our live support team for assistance. They can access your account in real time to help unfile the return or guide you through making the necessary adjustments.
