Where do I change the sales tax accounting method if I don't have a "Sales Tax Owed" table?

Hi there,

QuickBooks Online makes it easy to change your accounting method and I'll be happy to show you how.

As you know there are two types of accounting methods in QuickBooks Online; Accrual Basis and Cash Basis. 

Accrual basis

• In this accounting method, the time when you enter a transaction and the time when you actually pay or receive cash may be two separate events.
• An accrual basis report shows income regardless of whether your customers have paid your invoices and expenses regardless of whether you have paid all your bills.

Cash basis

• A bookkeeping method in which you regard income or expenses as occurring at the time you actually receive a payment or pay a bill.
• A cash basis report only shows income if you have received cash and expenses if you have paid cash.

Knowing this info, you can now select which accounting method works best with your business. You can edit this by clicking the Gear icon > Account and Settings > Advanced > Accounting method to Cash > Save.
