When you sell items where tax is collected, the tax details will credit a liability account. No vendor is involved. Say now I need to remit the tax to the state. So I setup a vendor as say NYDOR and the AP account is set to Sales Tax Payable. Now when I go to Select Checks and select just this vendor and built batch, the batch is zero dollars since I purchased nothing from this vendor hence GP says I have no liability to this vendor. Ok, even tho the build batch is 0.00 I can still go into Edit Checks but that vendor is not shown.
And either way, via select checks or edit checks there is nothing to apply the amount to.
If I use Manual Payment everything works ok since I can just select the NYDOR vendor, the checkbook, enter the amount to pay and the distributions are correct, the sales tax payable will be debited and cash is credited. But I want to print a check and Manual Payment does not print checks.
So how does anyone else print checks to the state for sales tax collected? Do I need to create a voucher first? If so, what would be the distributions on the (fake) voucher? Thanks!
