Hello there, @ajf1001.
Let me help record the tax deduction in QuickBooks Online (QBO). This way, it'll allow you to match with the associated bank transaction in QuickBooks and to make your book balance at the end of the tax year.
Here's how:
- Go to the +New button.
- Under Supplier, select Expense.
- Choose the name in the Supplier drop-down arrow.
- Select the bank account and the payment method.
- Click the date when payment was made.
- In the Category section, select the CIS Payments to HMRC account.
- Enter the amount you've paid.
- Hit Save and close.
Also, make sure to categorise and match your bank transactions before running a CIS report.
