Sorry, I am trying to figure out . 

I HAVE THE INVOICE FROM THE SHIPPING COMPANY, AND I MADE "ENTER BILL" AND I CREATED THE EXPENSE ACCOUNT AS " SHIPPING EXPENSE'.

I AM CONFUSING THAT AFTER ENTERING THE BILL, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

ACTUALLY THE PAYMENT ALREADY DONE, AND I JUST NEED TO MAKE THE RECORD IN THE QUICKBOOK.  HELP 

 

THANKS

Hi there Desiree 869,

 

Thanks for outlining what you're looking to do in QuickBooks Desktop. I know it can be a bit tricky to record these duty charges, but I'm here to help!

 

To begin, you'll want to record these as two separate transactions: the first bill will be for the shipping company and the second will be for the duty fees.

 

For the bill from the shipping company, make sure you have the company set up as a vendor in QuickBooks Desktop with the proper currency. Then all you'll need to do is record it as you see on the bill you received and record a payment against it since it's already paid. You can absolutely use the shipping expense account you have, or whatever other one you'd like. If you're not sure, you can touch base with an accountant to double check.

 

For the duty fees, how you record it depends on what you're seeing. I know, for instance, in some cases that there are tax-only transaction to account for this and it can be confusing to figure them out. If that's what you're dealing with, here's how you would make a sales tax only bill in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

  1. Select Enter bills.
  2. Choose the Vendor.
  3. Choose the appropriate expense account.
  4. Enter 0.01 in the Amount column and assign the appropriate Tax code.
  5. On another line, choose the appropriate expense account.
  6. Enter -0.01 in the Amount column and assign the Exempt tax code.
  7. Adjust the Sales tax field just above the subtotal to enter the amount of sales tax charged.
  8. Click Save & Close.

The two dollar amounts will effectively cancel each other out while allowing you to enter the sales tax amount you need. You should also be able to record the bill payment against it as needed. I left you these links on the last post, but I want to make sure you have them again.

If that's not quite what you're looking for or you need an extra hand, feel free to get in touch with support. Learn how, including hours and policies, by reading the QuickBooks Desktop software support policies article.

 

I hope that helps!

THANK YOU FOR REPLYING QUICKLY. 

ONE MORE QUESTION, FOR THE SHIPPING FEE

I WILL ENTER BILL AS ITEMS 

FOR THE DUTIES FEE, I WILL ENTER BILL AS EXPENSES. 

 

AM I RIGHT?
