Question

My client consistently has zero PST payable as he is below the commission rate of $22.00. How can I adjust his PST filings to reflect this?

Hey surreylittlethea,

 

The ease of preparing sales tax returns is one of the most powerful features available in QuickBooks Online. The tax centre uses advanced tracking based on each transaction you record to accurately calculate each line (or box) of your return, resulting in significant time savings. This system is focused on automatically handling things in the background, but we can easily make adjustments as needed. I'll be happy to guide you through this. 

 

There are two simple ways to make an adjustment on a sales tax return. Both require an adjustment account to keep everything balanced. While you can use your tax liability account to avoid affecting the balance sheet, determining the correct account to select is work best-suited for an accountant. The options are as follows:

  • Select Adjust when preparing your return to enter the appropriate amount and account.
  • Create a Journal Entry and select your tax liability account (default is PST Payable or GST/HST Payable). You'll be able to map this adjustment to your return using the Sales Tax column.

Feel free to ask me any other questions you have! I've got your back, so I want to make sure everything gets adjusted properly.
