I am trying to find why my gst report is different from the trial balance. How can I find which entry was posted with entering the ITC code?

Hello usercarnott52,

It's vital that your balances are matching as expected. I'll be glad to give you a hand so your GST report matches your Trial balance. QuickBooks makes it easy to keep track of your transactions allowing you to save time for the things you love.

Based on what you've described, I encourage you to check the transactions included in your GST report. Here's how: 

1. Select Taxes from the menu on the left and click Sales Tax at the top.
2. Go to the Action column on the right and click the black drop-down arrow next to Prepare return.
3. Select View summary.
4. Click the amount under the Total column for Line 101 Sales and other revenue. This will pull a Detail report of all the transactions that make up line 101 on the return.

You can compare this Detail report to your income reports to see which transactions are causing the difference.

Another tool that can help out here is the Transactions without sales tax report. Here's how to access it:

1. Go to the Sales Tax page.
2. On the right-hand side, click the View Reports dropdown.
3. Select Transactions without sales tax.
4. If needed, adjust the date range for the report and click Run report.

This will show you all transactions for the time period that either don't have a sales tax code or are marked Out of Scope. Give this a try and if you have questions, feel free to reach back to me in the comments below.
