When you post a journal that includes an entry to the VAT Control account, Quickbooks 2008 refuses to put it on the VAT return. I could add it manually to the return, but then it would still be excluded from that awful journal that QB posts when VAT is filed. Does anyone know how to get QB to include it in the VAT return?

Don't use a journal
With QB its best not to use journals for transactions affecting VAT. Use a traditional transaction instead, then the Vat will be processed correctly. If you need more information PM me.

A Sale
Presumably this was a sale. I suggest (sorry) delete the offending transaction and create a cash sales invoice (which will sort the VAT) then bank the proceeds (if undeposited funds account is in use).

Sales Receipt
In QB the required transaction is Customer (menu)->Enter Sales Receipt.
The value will be posted to the selected bank account OR Undeposited Funds if the Undeposited Funds option is switched on in preferences. In that case use Banking->Make Deposits to transfer the money from Undeposited Funds to the bank.
