Tax Configuration

Step 3a: Tax Configuration

Click on the ‘Configure Taxes’ link to link tax items and codes from your QuickBooks account.

Step 1: Locate the appropriate tax set-up information from your QuickBooks company file.

!If you have not set up your QuickBooks tax codes, work with your accountant to set up your your tax information in QuickBooks before proceeding.

To pull this information into Pulse from your QuickBooks company file, click on the ‘Update Item Query’ and ‘Update Tax Code Query’ buttons in the Item Query and Tax Code Query sections.

• Wait for automatic update (default setting of 10 minutes) or click Update in Web Connector.
• Once the Web Connector communication is finished, click the blue swirl icon at top right to return to the Configuration Wizard to link back to the Tax Configuration page.
• If you have tax items and tax codes set up in Quickbooks, they should be visible in the QuickBooks Sales Tax Items and the QuickBooks Sales Tax Codes sections.
• If the tax items and tax codes are set up but are not visible, an error has occurred. Check the Quickbooks log and retry the steps above. If you still do not see the information, contact your FrontRunner Success Coach.

Multiple Taxes Set-Up
If your FrontRunner system is set up with multiple tax rates (See Sales Tax SetUp for more information) you will now link each FrontRunner tax group rate with each of your Quickbooks tax group rates.

!NOTE TO CANADIAN CLIENTS: The Canadian version of QuickBooks does not utilize the Base Tax Item. Leave this set to establish link.

Click on the ‘Update Tax Links’ button to update the links. Once you are confident that your taxes are set up properly, check the box to confirm that your tax set-up is correct and complete.
