By following these instructions, the withheld tax amount will be fixed! @userjamalshah-mapl.


There are several processes to handle customer's withholding in QuickBooks Online. You’ll want to set up a withholding tax expense account first to track the charges.


Step 1: Set up a withholding tax expense account:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and then select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Select New.
  3. From the Account Type drop-down, select Other Expense.
  4. From the Detail Type drop-down, select Other Miscellaneous Expense.
  5. Name the account "Withholding Tax Expense," then Save and Close.

Step 2: Set up a withholding tax expense item:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon, then choose Products and Services.
  2. Press the New button, then choose Service.
  3. Name the item "Withholding Tax."
  4. From the Income account drop-down, select the withholding tax expense account that you’ve just created.
  5. Hit Save and close.

Once done, please proceed to Step 3 and 4 found in this article to create a credit note so we can apply it to the invoice payment.
