Are gross sales taken from Income Tax Summary report or Sales Tax Liability report when filling in State Sales Tax Forms Gross Sales Field?

I trying to understand the Gross Sales and Services field (Box 1) on NY State and Local Annual Sales and Use Tax Return ST-101. I use Quickbooks and I am not sure if I am supposed to use the figure from the Gross receipts and sales from the Quickbooks Income Tax Summary report or the Total figure from the Sales Tax Liability report. The figures from them are different. The Total in the Sales Tax Liability are much higher since the figure also includes reimbursed expenses, which is not considered income or subject to sales tax The Gross receipts and sales of the Income Tax Summary in Quickbooks does not include reimbursed expenses rightfully. I know I don't actually get taxed in the gross figure, only the taxable sales but want to know if anyone knows what NYS wants to see on the sales tax form. I guess the answer would be the same regardless of what state sales tax form was being used but I happen to be in NY. I also posed this question in one of tax groups but haven't gotten a response as of yet.

Thanks in advance, Adam

It is all your sales, total revenue. You put the taxable amounts in the individual county lines. I sell all over the world and of course only sales in NY are subject to sales tax. My gross sales are often far larger than my taxable sales.
