Need Help with GST.  My BAS has 1A $189, 1B $2370 and W2 $3086.  The result is $905 payable to ATO.  How should the breakup on the cheque be entered in Reckon online?

    Yup that's an easy one. Do you know about the Payroll liabilities screen? image

    Can you see the payg withholding payable is $3086.00? If you then select CREATE it will take you to the cheque screen and you can add in the GST or tax payable

    Hi Sherree,

    I personally use the enter bill > pay bill method to enter ATO liabilities.

    If you would like a copy of the screenshot please feel free to email me.

    Kind regards,

    Sally I personally never ENTER A BILL because the liability is already accounted for if you have done everything else correctly. Aren't you doubling up? What account do you use in the bill allocation? How do you clear the liability accounts? In fact Sally I've noticed a few of the bookkeepers doing this. I'm worried about where they got their CERT IV certification for their BAS Agent registration.  I've heard of using a Tax Clearing account but if everything else is correct, you shouldn't need one. What do you think?

    Hey Kevin,

    I am trying to do this but it is saying the transaction is not in balance. Do you know how to rectify this?
