Hi gcridland,

 

Making sure your tax payments are recorded correctly is good so you don't run into issues the future. I'll be happy to assist with ensuring your tax payments are recorded. Here are the steps: 

 

For a salestax from a prior tax period

 

Here's how to record a tax payment for a prior tax period (for a tax that no longer appears in the list of due taxes):

  1.     From the left menu, select Taxes.
  2.     Select Sales Tax.
  3.     Select Enter Prior Tax History.
  4.     Select Add Payment.
  5.     Enter the required payment information.
  6.     Select Ok.
     

For a sales tax that is currently due

 

To record a tax payment:

  1.     From the left menu, select Taxes.
  2.     Select Sales Tax.
  3.     Select Pay Taxes.
  4.     On the Pay Taxes page, select Record payment for the tax you want to pay.
  5.     For the Payment Date, select Other and enter the actual date the payment was made.
  6.     Enter the cheque number.
  7.     Select Approve and print.
     

To verify that your tax payment was recorded:

 

  1.     From the left menu select Reports, then select All Reports.
  2.     Select Manage Sale tax.
  3.     Select the SalesTax Payments report.
  4.     Confirm that the tax payment was recorded

Now you know how to record sales tax payments. Feel free to ask questions!
