Sales tax reports

QBCU
5.1.1

QuickBooks makes it easy to stay on top of the sales tax collected, which will ensure that you pay the correct amount when it comes due. There are two reports available to help you stay on top of the sales tax you owe: a tax liability report and a taxable customer report.

Perform the following steps to access the sales tax reports:

  1. Within the Sales Tax Center, click on the Reports link, as indicated in Figure 7.12:
