Question

You cannot file sales tax for a period that has already been filed

I am using Quickbooks pro 2013, and I have been filling my taxes with the Tax Agency Report all those years.

 

Lately, I did my report for the 2023-04 to 2023-07 period, but actually forgot to do it for the period 2023-01 to 2023-03. Don't worry, it's already been paid 😉

 

Trying to clic on the "File Return" with the period 2023-01 to 2023-03, gives me the error :"You cannot file sales tax for a period that has already been filed", but I actually never filed for that period.

 

Confirming this, when I look at the Vendor Information transactions, I can see that the first quarter of 2023 was not filed.

 

So, how can I force it to do so? Or should I just leave it there, and keep my receipts for future references?

 

Thanks.
