Hello, Ehendrix. A sales tax rounding‑error adjustment is typically mapped to Income if it is reducing your sales‑tax liability, and to an Expense account if it is increasing your liability. You can delete the adjustment only if the return has not yet been submitted. To do this, go to Sales Tax → select the tax agency and the return period that was adjusted → View summary → find the adjustment → click Delete → confirm.

 

If the return has already been filed, deleting the adjustment will cause your books to no longer match the agency’s records, so we recommend against it. Instead, you'll need to add a new adjustment in the next return to correct the liability. For more information and step‑by‑step instructions, please refer to this help article: Create or delete a sales tax adjustment in QuickBooks Online.

 

I’ll keep this conversation available for any follow-up updates or questions.
