How do I fix a sales tax over payment? I'm on accrual. In October I sent out an invoice with tax to a non-taxable customer. I paid my sales tax before I entered their payment into QB. Not thinking I just fixed the original  invoice when I received their payment and sales tax exemption paperwork.

Then this month the difference between sales tax collected and payable were way off. I had to adjust my sales tax up by $60-something dollars, where normally it's down by $5 or so. Found that my taxable sales I reported last month was higher than they should of been. So now it makes sense.

How do I fix it? I want to make a credit to my sales tax account for sales tax I paid, but never collected do to the customer being non-taxable.
