Question

Unassigned Tax amount same as HST paid in previous month

After paying HST the same way forever, suddenly March2025 HST is coming up as an unassigned Tax amount.  This is the exact amount as the HST was in March and was paid.  I have conferred with my accountant and we have not been able to identify how to clear this so I can proceed with April/May HST.

Does anyone know how to clear this?

You can review your March 2025 transactions to ensure HST was correctly assigned, as QuickBooks may have flagged them due to missing sales tax items or modifications after filing, Tracey.


Here's how:

  1. Open the Unassigned Sales Tax Amounts Detail report.
  2. Select the appropriate Tax Agency. 
  3. Select the Dates period that matches the return you're trying to file. 
  4. Double-click an unassigned transaction to open it.
  5. Assign the correct tax code, then click Save and Close.
  6. Repeat for each unassigned amount. 

 

Additionally, you can refer to this article on how to record or edit your sales tax payments: Manage sales tax payments in QuickBooks Online.

Thanks but there are no unassigned transactions.

It is the exact amount as the tax that was paid and filed.

I've been through this with our accountant and they cant' figure it out either.
