I use QuickBooks Premier 2006 - Accountant Edition. I need to break out the sales taxes payable from the invoices I create to various G/L accounts such as a different G/L account for each state. I have the different sales tax items set up in the item list with the correct sales tax percentage for each. In the item list, when I set up a sales tax item, I cannot select a G/L code to use for this sales tax item - it simply assigns the G/L account that QuickBooks automatically set up as the sales tax payable item. Is there any way to change the G/L account code associated with each sales tax item in the item list. When I edit the items in the item list, there is not an option to change the G/L account code.
I realize that I can run a sales tax report to get the numbers for each sales tax item so I can make journal entries, but would prefer that it happen automatically whenever I create an invoice. If I cannot change the G/L code associated with the sales tax item, am I limited to journal entries to put the numbers into the correct G/L accounts?
Thanks for any help with this.
