I files & made payment for yearend/last quarter submission for GST (Eg:  $1500) then later on with all the final entries/adjustments...etc, I run the Sale Tax report again, the amount I actually owe is $1700.  How do I fix/adjust the report or make the correct payment?  Thanks

Hi YD5,

 

One of the features of QuickBooks Desktop is being able to edit, adjust or remove entries you enter. We know mistakes can happen to anyone and I'd be happy to help you get your GST filing corrected.

 

In order to fix a sales tax filing in QuickBooks Desktop you'll need to first delete the payment that was made and then the journal entry that was made for the sales tax filing. To delete the journal entry you just need to go to: Company>Make Journal entries. From there click find at the top left of the screen if you have the filing date or use the back arrow to scroll through your entries till you find it and click delete. Once that is done you'll be able to file your sales tax entry again and make the correct payment. You'll need to contact the CRA and advise them of the mistake and correction.

 

If you are still having issues with deleting your sales tax filing I suggest contacting our support team for further assistance. Their number is 877-772-9158. You can also find their hours of operation here.

 

Hope this helps.
