Question

Looking for a way to show sales tax amount by line on sales receipt.....

Hello,

 

In entering Daily Sales Summaries....I'm realizing that it would be really handy if I could see the sales tax amount being charged by line on the Sales Receipt.  The reason for this is that my client has several items sold within an item category that may or may not be taxable....so the total amount doesn't necessarily reflect the correct sales tax amount.  I can correct the total hst....but would be a lot easier/handier if I could correct by line....to then be able to use subtotals correctly, etc.

 

Is this possible?  To add a column that shows the Sales Tax Amount on each line entry?

 

Thank you very much,

Stacie

Hello Stacie,

 

Welcome back to the QuickBooks Community! I'm glad you're enjoying this resource for working with QuickBooks Desktop. I'd be happy to go over the options for working with forms in the program.

 

I can see how having this extra field would be useful for the kinds of daily sales that your client is working with in order to be able to better track the taxable versus non taxable items. At this time, correcting the total HST in the subtotal area is the way to ensure that the amounts are correct for the sales tax remittances and other reporting since there isn't a way to edit the amounts line by line.

 

An option you can explore with tracking the sales tax amounts line by line, however, is to add a custom field to the form template. This custom field would need to be manually filled out, but it may be something that you can use and then customize reports to show this additional information. I can't promise that the custom field will show for all reports, but you're welcome to test it out to see if it works for you. Here are some articles that can help.
