how do I manually adjust tax amounts on bills? Frank White 08-23-2006

 I have a bill to enter that was part of an error that I made by
underpaying a bill. My supplier has sent me a new July bill where the
GST and PST are not the proper percentages of the net.
This is partly due to some of teh items being at the old 7% GST rate.

According to the help file in quickbooks, I just go ahead and change
the amount in the tax feilds.
I have tried this many times and I wont work. I get a message telling
me that the bill has to be in balance.

So how can I enter this bill?

Remove dashes "-----------" to e-mail.

Try changing the total amount on the bill first and then fix the details.

Thanks to Arno Martens for the following reply. It works.

--------------Quote:
Enter the total as always.
Enter the account.
Enter the Tax Code you would use for this item.
In the Net Amount column you enter the Total (as above),
"-" (minus) the correct GST amount.
The GST field will now show a wrong amount.
Delete that with the cursor and enter the correct GST amount.
Click Save & Close and you are done.


I have to do that almost every month because the GST on the Bell
Canada
Bill is always out by a few cents (complained to their Corporate
offices).
You are probably with Telus and they possibly do not screw up.


Let us know if that came out OK.

Piece o' Cake, if you know the correct GST amount.

Enter the total as always.
Enter the account.
Enter the Tax Code you would use for this item.
In the Net Amount column you enter the Total (as above),
"-" (minus) the correct GST amount.
The GST field will now show a wrong amount.
Delete that with the cursor and enter the correct GST amount.
Click Save & Close and you are done.

What I do is enter a line item for sales tax.
