Hi ArawazaEquipment,

 

Thanks for connecting with us here. Great job on entering all your historical tax payments into your account. QuickBooks simplifies the way you manage your taxes making it easy to keep track of your transactions. I'd be happy to steer you on the right path so you can get back to doing what you love. 

 

Based on what you've described, I recommend double-checking to make sure you've entered the historical payments the right way. Here's how: 

  1. Click on Taxes from the left menu.
  2. Click on Payroll Tax at the top.
  3. Select Enter prior tax history.
  4. Select Add Payment.
  5. Enter the details of your payments, including the period start, end, and payment date. Make sure to include the breakdown of each tax type that you paid.
  6. Hit OK.

It's also important to note that historical tax payments do not post credits or debits to the Chart of Accounts. If you need the payments to reflect on your in your bank and tax/liability accounts, I'd recommend creating cheques/expenses by clicking on the Plus (+) icon.
