Taxes

I have 8 years worth of payments to the Ministry of Finance in which PST due was paid by cheque directly out of the PST payables account, with the commission going into "non operating revenues".  (So expenses would show $60 to PST payable, -20 to non-op income, and the cheque amount $40.)  The "file sales tax" has never been used.  I have tried to reverse these a variety of ways without affecting the trial balance for a given year, but something always changes, presumably because if it was done properly the commission wouldn't have gone to non-operating revenue.  If I try to do this in the current fiscal year by adjusting out the "unassigned amounts" (the amount on 8 years worth of cheques to the ministry), the unassigned amount doesn't change.  How do I get QB to recognized that the unassigned amounts were PST payments?  I'm going to have the same problem with GST accounts as well, I think.

On the invoice, it does not denote how the sales tax is created.

One of my employees is having trouble with her Quickbooks.  It is Desktop Accountant.  After the GST is filed in the sales tax module the amount to be paid doesn't show up in the Pay Bills module.  Her only option is to create a cheque for the amount to be paid.  Why can't she pay the bill out of the Pay Bills module?

My sales tax wont add to total of invoice

Payment is already deleted

My only option is to pay from my Cash Float, the drop down arrow doesn't show any options to change to my chequing account. This has never happened before.

How would I record a refund from CRA for HST interest and penalties relief? I originally recorded as "record deposit"..received from was Receiver general, account was Finance Charges. The original penalties TO cra was paid as a bill payment to receiver general and account was finance charges. I now realize that HST penalties are non-ded, so I need to create a journal entry to correct this.  Accountant wants me to create a journal entry at year end 9/30 as the deposit FROM cra was 10/8, so it needs to go back to the previous year. They are requesting the following journal entry but it is NOT working for me and is causing Receiver General to have a negative balance that I can't clear. Accounts payable -  D$1,000Finance Charges - C$1,500Non-Ded IP - D$1,500Non-Ded IP - C$1,000 Should it not be the AR account instead of the AP account since I am receiving the money from CRA?  Please help!

We are registered to collect and remit sales tax in Quebec. We've started selling online through a platform (Depop) that collects and remits sales tax on behalf of their sellers. They require the Election by a Principal and Principal's Agent form to show they are remitting taxes on behalf of registered businesses, which seems pretty straightforward. My question is, how do I deal with this in my bookkeeping? We receive the full payment from the customer (Sale + shipping + sales tax) into our Paypal account, then the commission + the sales tax are immediately paid out to Depop (the selling platform) from the Paypal account. For example: Buyer paid $75 + $13 Shipping + 11.44 in HST ON - we receive a deposit of $99.44 in our Paypal account.Depop immediately receives a payment of $8.80 (commission) + the 11.44 sales tax Normally I would just create an expense with the $8.80 commission -- but now where does the $11.44 HST go? Is it considered an expense as well if we

I recently started using QB book keeping. It's showing for my last trimester (when I wasn't doing book keeping in QB but with an accountant, was just doing my billing in QB) an amount due of let's say 5K my accountant calculated let's say 3K for that trimester to be paid back.My bank transaction of 3K just came in. What do I need to do so that the sales tax for the last trimester shows 3K so that I can match it with my banking transaction?

Trying to use the new Square to QBO app. I'm having an issue accepting a batch of transactions. I've been able to assign all of the transactions to proper items. However, there is a line called "Undeposited Cash/Check" that is blocking me from accepting the transaction. I get an error that says "ErrorWe couldn't Add the transaction(s) due to "Make sure all your transactions have a GST/HST rate before you save.". Try again later.". I'm not able to clear this error as I have no ability to assign HST to this line. I've been able to successfully add the majority of the transactions, however I cannot get these entered. Any help would be appreciated.

Unable to mark as filed, the GST/HST report in QBOThis error message appears when I try to mark as filed:  You must also click Save again to make this change that is prior to the closing date. (code: "INDIRECTTAX-10623") The books are closed, the CRA filing is done, but QBO will not let me 'Mark as Filed' What am I missing?
