System won't calculate taxes spent on multiple items from a receipt when you're trying to balance a split expense? I have to individually calculate taxes for each item.

Hi userpetitlawncare,

Having the ability to split up a transaction when categorizing bank feed items helps simplify the bank matching process. I want to ensure that you're able to get this transaction split and categorized properly. 

You're correct that when splitting a transaction amongst several different accounts, you'll need to include the HST or GST amount related to that line with the subtotal in order for the transaction to balance. I tried putting the GST amount in its own line within my test account and selecting the GST Payable account, and I confirmed that the system won't let you save it if a tax liability account is selected for one of the lines, so having the tax amount on it's own line isn't an option.

I can see how this could be a bit tedious depending on the number of lines within a particular transaction. If you have a moment I recommend submitting some feedback to our development team about this. You can find the steps to submit your feedback from directly within your QuickBooks Online company in this article: How do I submit feedback?

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with!
