Before you fill out your tax forms, make sure that QuickBooks has a record of all your tax-related income and expenses for the taxable year. QuickBooks provides two preset reports — the income tax summary report and the income tax detail report — to help you verify each tax line amount.
The report should reflect all the changes you made. For example, if the report originally showed nothing for “Schedule A: Cash charity contributions” because no tax line was assigned to your Charitable Contributions expenses account, you should now see a line and an amount for “Schedule A: Cash charity contributions” in the report.
Tip: If you need to investigate only a single amount, double-click the amount in the tax summary report to create a QuickZoom report. The QuickZoom report displays the same list that you would see in the tax detail report, but only for the amount in question.
If an amount doesn't belong, you probably distributed the amount to the wrong income or expense account.
