Sales tax module - Pre Payment /prior Payment need to be able to select asset or Liability account

There was a change to the Sales tax module in the advanced subscription level. The 4 Option choices for Adjustment Reason have now been split from 4 to 8 and you can no longer Select an Asset or Liability account for a Prepayment of sales tax. In a growing number of states if your sales tax payment for a year is over a certain threshold you must make prepayment for sales tax to a state. Since 2024 I have been able to make a prepayment to an asset or liability account (prior accountant set the prepayment to a Liability account )(I know it should have been a prepaid but it is a liability account) The Prepaid sales tax liability account is debited via the bank feed transaction when the prepayment hits the bank. It needs to be held there because the prepayment is paid in current month but sales tax filing and payment is not paid until subsequent month. Thus the prepayment needs to be held in either a Prepaid Asset account( or in my client case a liability account. ) Once the tax is paid an adjustment is made within the sales tax module "add adjustment" I used to be able to hit my prepayment liability account (or prepaid asset account: for those using prepaid asset account )thus crediting the liability account which would zero out the liability account (basically a holding account for the prepayment) This adjustment would then reduce the amount of sales tax owed within the sales module - to the correct payment amount owed for sales tax . I am no longer able to select an Asset or Liability account for prepayment or prior prepayment it only allows you to select either income or expense account which is incorrect. Other Subscription levels still allow choosing an asset or liability account it appears to only be an issue in Advanced and has occurred in Advanced since the reasons have split to 8 options and no longer 4. This change or issue seems to have appeared after 2/20/2026. Please review and allow the choice of asset or liability I cannot correctly record client sales tax payment within the module until the change is corrected. Thank you I have conferred with an Intuit specialist and there is a case started Case:15158737923 and INV-151488 - I wanted to make other people aware of this issue in case they are having the problem. Per Hector and Alicia's Podcast on 5/1/26 not only should I give feedback within QBO account but here in Canny As well. Regards - Cathy Schaefer The Bookkeeper Repairman, Inc.
