Total Income doesn't equal Total Sales Jimmy 01-06-2007

I'm getting ready to pay my sales tax to the state so I ran a P&L statement
for the year and got a figure for my "Total Income" - sales of goods and
services. I then ran the QB Sales Tax report which shows my "Totals Sales"
that is about $500 more than "Total Income" on my P&L. How can these two
figures be different? They are both from Jan 1 through Dec 31?

One set for accrual and the other for cash?

Are there any journal entries or non sales related entries hitting the
income account? I would run a detailed transaction report to see if there
are any stray transactions posted to that account.

Sorry for the panic attack. After further investigation the problem (ok not
problem but oversight) was a number of "expenses" that were attached to
customer invoices.

Sounds about right. Have a boss that had me put a negative expense on an
invoice to save on taxes. For the IRS it doesn't affect the bottom line, but
for his local tax on gross sales, it doesn't show up.

The boss asked, why don't they match. Uh, you ordered it so! At least it
wasn't a commissioned sales rep!
