executed both utilities - verify and rebuild - no problems found

currently i have a sales tax adjustment that i had to create to make it zero out.

i drilled down into the sales tax liability report and found a line where the tax payment was POSITIVE whereas all other tax payments were NEGATIVE. I deleted this transaction and now the tax liability report is correct, but .

going in to PAY the sales tax, however, shows it as a different negative value.

it is as if the amount due is being computed two distinctly different ways using different numbers.

the negative balance shows up on the day BEFORE my first sales transaction where sales tax is actually collected.
