How to Cancel invoice

I have to Cancel or Void certain old never-to-be-paid Invoices where I've already paid the Sales Tax to NY State on a Sales Tax Item associated with each particular County. I need those paid Sales Tax amounts to be credited now to the proper counties. Over the last 21 years of using QB Premier Desktop on a Cash Basis, I have discovered Sales Tax had always been paid on an Accrual Basis, noting that I see it can be also changed to a cash basis, but it wasn't/isn't on a cash basis currently. I'm having difficulty finding an A/R report with the jurisdiction/county Sales Tax Item shown. When I Void an invoice, does it leave it there completely intact, to see in its entirety in the future, for reference purposes? And does Voiding it put a notation of the Void date on it? I'd also like to know what it does to my books' Sales Tax records --- thinking it'll bring a negative balance forward in general, but credit the paid Sales Tax on a per county basis, when I reconcile and Pay the Sales Tax, yes/no?.

How to Cancel invoice

Thanks for posting here, @chart,

When you void a transaction in QuickBooks the system offsets the amount on the transaction to zero out the balances. However, voiding a sales entry will not affect the sales taxes paid prior.

The system will retain the payment and apply the credit to the next taxable period. If you want to keep track of any changes to the entries in QuickBooks, you can open an Audit Trail report for it. Simply go to Reports > Accountant & Taxes > Audit Trail .

Regarding the report, you can look for Sales by Customer Detail report and customize it to only show invoices along with the taxable sales.

  1. Go to the Reports menu and choose Sales .
  2. Pick Sales by Customer Detail from the list.
  3. Click on Customize report at the top and head to the Display tab. From there, type Tax in the search field below Columns .
  4. Mark the options for Income Subject to Tax and Sales Tax Code .
  5. Next, go to the Filters tab and find or type Transaction Type below Choose Filter .
  6. Pick the Invoices (Accounts Receivable transaction).
  7. Hit OK when you're done.
