Quickbooks losing VAT return data

Quickbooks losing VAT return data

Didn't find your answer?

I'm running Quickbooks Pro 2010.

Catching up with reconciling my bank statements etc, I found a VAT refund receipt had not been entered from the quarter ending 12/13.

I tried going into Receive Payments, but it didn't show any receipts due from HMRC. Also, the VAT Control account looks like it is for the refunded amount plus the amount of the last quarter to date (as I haven't made the VAT return from the last quarter yet).

Poking around at how other VAT returns are dealt with, I've seen the entries in the General Journal, but there is no entry for the 12/13 quarter.

I then try filing a VAT return for the 12/13 quarter, but get an error message saying I cannot file a return for a quarter that has already been filed.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Should I make a manual journal entry so I can then receive the payment? And I guess I need to do the separate lines for each VAT code to keep things in order. Or is there an easier way?

1213 not filed

It looks to me like the 1213 return was not filed and was included in the 0314 return.

If you delete the 0314 journal you will be able to file the 1213 return.

( Do this "properly" under <VAT><File VAT>)

Make sure that the amount of the refund is the same as what was filed with HMRC ~ if late entries have crept in then you can use the "adjust vat due button" ( and reverse it after filing).

You will then have to refile the 0314 return.

Note that if you have already filed 0614 you will have to delete this journal first ~ it's like pealing an onion, you have to take the outer skins off first.Also when filing the VAT choose the "paper filing " option
