Question

How do I delete my data entry and start over in my Taxes set up? I put the wrong HST and PST rates. I need to do 2020, not 2021. I am newer than new to all this.

Hello vivianwalwyn-gma,

 

It's great to learn you're new to some of the features offered in QuickBooks. I'll be happy to steer you on the right path so you can explore other amazing features with confidence. 

 

Knowing exactly where you're looking to delete the data entry is helpful for fixing this issue. You're more than welcome to send screenshots or additional info to indicate what you're seeing on your screen. If you're referring to deleting tax rates, it's essential to note that you can only deactivate the unwanted rate versus deleting them. Here's how to make the rate inactive:

  1. From your main dashboard, click Taxes.
  2. Select Sales Tax.
  3. Navigate to Manage sales tax.
  4. On the Tax agencies tab, locate the tax agency associated with the sales tax rate you wish to make inactive.
  5. Click Make inactive in the Actions column next to the rate you wish to make inactive.
  6. You'll know the sales tax rate has been deactivated when you see Make active in the Actions column for that sales tax rate.

To reactivate the sales tax rate at any time, select Make active in the Action column. I encourage you to check out some of the helpful QuickBooks tutorials which I've linked below:
