Hello again colin-harris1950,
I'm glad to hear that you were able to work this out! Yes, reporting periods in QuickBooks Online can make a difference. It's good that the sales taxes are now showing since you're in the correct reporting period. I'll share a tip about working with the sales tax module in QuickBooks Online.
When you create a new sales tax agency in QuickBooks Online by adding a province/territory or by creating a custom on, the program typically defaults the reporting period to starting in January. That means even if I set up a new provincial sales tax today, it'll show for January in the Taxes tab if I don't make any adjustments to the reporting period starting month.
What you can do instead when setting up a new sales tax agency is to choose the month from the dropdown for the beginning of the reporting period. Say I report monthly; I'd choose August if I set something up today. That way, you don't have to worry about adjusting dates when filing or seeing zero dollar calculations when you review the sales tax module. Here's the field I mean.
I hope this has been a helpful tip. Feel free to stop by the community again!
