Sales Tax

How to pull a PO/Invoice onto a check and send part to a tax payable account

If you didn’t have sales tax added onto an item you are selling (or have it attached to the vendor the item is tied to so that it is automatically calculated when ordering new items) but need to have a portion of a check you are writing to a vendor post to your Sales Tax Payable account, follow these steps.

Start at Write New Check and fill in Vendor Name, then pull PO/Invoice onto the check. Edit check amount if needed to actual amount the check is to be written for. Edit the Memo line if needed. Go to the Expenses section.

Completed check will look similar to this:

A check can then be written from the Sales Tax Payable account for all the monies posted to that account, at a later time.
