I want to track ITC and HST collected on two different accounts how I can change the account mapping. This was possible in desktop version

Hello c2bond!

Thanks for reaching out about mapping the tax accounts.

In QuickBooks Online, one Payable account is used per tax agency. If you file each part of the HST separately, you can create a second agency by following these steps:

1. Open the sales tax center by selecting Taxes on the left, then Sales Tax at the top.
2. Click the Add tax button in the top right corner.
3. Choose Custom tax as the type of tax you want to add.
4. Fill out the form with the agency name, rates, etc.
5. Click Save.

This will create separate Payable and Suspense accounts for your new agency, as well as tax codes that map to the new accounts.

If you'd like assistance with this or anything else, feel free to reach out to me.

High level question:

My Item List has several entries for both HST collected and for ITCs, but they both flow into account 23310, HST on Sales. 

How do I reassign the ITC Items (only) so all ITCs flow into a separate account, 23320, HST ITCs?

Background:

Am using Desktop Premier. I want to have the HST collected flow into one GL account (23310), and the ITCs into another (23320).  This will more easily allow a reasonability test on the two balances (eg. the 23310 movement each month should be 13% * my monthly sales; it's a bit more fiddly to back out the non-HST items from expenses, but the principle's the same to test the 23320 movement.)

Once I've tested both, I file the return using the CRA website, i.e. I don't use the QB menu Sales Tax > File Sales Tax), then journal the amounts to the Receiver General payable.
