Hello Dheyaa,
The answer is dependent on if the Tax Reports have been released. You cannot modify tax periods that are closed. Releasing of the Tax Report closes the tax period, whether an AP Bill has been generated to the Vendor Agency, or not.
In Acumatica, there’s no way to retroactively modify closed Tax Periods. The only way to adjust this structure would be moving forward. What you could do is shorten the current tax year to include all monthly periods. Then, when the next tax year is created, change type to quarterly.
To do this:
- navigate to Tax Periods screen
- select Tax Agency and current Year
- select Short Tax Year check box
- delete Open periods on current Tax Year
- when new tax year is created, change Tax Period Type to “Quarter”
- notice the beginning of this tax year immediately follows the final Monthly period from previous year
Per your example:
- the current tax year is 2020 and 8 monthly tax reports have been released
- Short Year has been selected for 2020 Tax Year, and the 4 remaining open tax periods have been deleted from 2020
- Tax Year 2021 is created with a Tax Period Type = Quarter
- 2021 Tax Year Period #1 will open with dates ranging: 09/01/2020 - 12/31/2020
- Tax Year 2021 will end on 08/31/2021
- If the agency is requiring quarterly sales data, tax adjustments should be expected for those 8 monthly tax periods (Jan - Aug.)
Every Tax Agency is different in how they require sales tax data, so if there are additional variables to consider, please reach out your Acumatica Support provider.
I have a similar issue where a tax report was created incorrectly and released now how do I reverse this? Am I completely stuck??
We have the exact same situation as @ervin41 . The prepare tax button and process/release was done mid month on accident. Now our GL is off and our generated AP bills are incorrect.
The only solution I can come up with is creating a manual AP bill to pull the rest of the sales tax due in, but is there any other way to reverse what has happenned in order to start over?
Is there a way to capture the remaining tax due for October besides a manual AP bill?
What would the ramifications be of creating an additional AP bill to pull in the rest of the sales tax due? How does that transmit into next months Sales Tax Prep in ACM? Does it mess anything up if our generated Tax due in ACM does not match what we actually file and pay?
Thanks for any help!
