Why does Reckon home and business 2019 crash when adding an invoice or estimate. I am using Windows 10, and have moved the tax file to business, it is not hidden. I have reinstalled and supervalidated

    Hi Maherj,

    Might be a long shot here, but have you reached the limit of 1500 invoices/estimates?

    What do you mean by you have moved the "tax file to business" Maherj?

    Hi Robyn, when following the instructions on the postRav mentions above, you have to make sure the tax control account  is under the Business Accounts area.  Apologies for the sloppy wording

    So you have checked and changed both of these things:


    Tax control Account has been moved

    Move the Tax Control Account back to Business

    1.    Right click Tax Control > Edit;

    2.    In Account Location, select Business:Business Tax

    1. Click OK to save

    Tax control account has been hidden

    Show the Tax Control Account:

    1.    Tools > Account List > Manage Accounts;

    2.    Untick the Hide Account box on the Tax Control line;

    1. Click Close to save and close.

    I have fixed a similar problem for a client before but it would be easier to use Team Viewer (www.teamviewer.com) to see your computer and your actual data file Maherj.  Or you could email me a backup of your data file if it is not too large.  If you are interested, please email me direct robyn@robynkelly.com.au

    Thank you

    Thanks Robyn, all fixed now.
    The problem was that I had an old tax liability file, and it was listed as a "liability" account in Reckon, and wasn't able to be changed.  It needed to be a "tax" type account. We changed its name to WRong tax liability, and Reckon created a new "tax" TYPE account.   It sounds confusing, but I have an image that I'll try and upload..If you make this change, any pre-existing transactions stay in the old account, the new ones go in the correct account. It is easy to edit the old transactions so they go to the new account.??
