Cause
Most likely Balance Carry Forward has not been done for previous Fiscal year and hence the G/L Account balances are not similar.
If Balance Carry Forward has been done, the Journal Entry type and Sub ledger Account Line Item type for the Journal entries corresponding to the GL Account can be checked.
Resolution
Follow the below two options to resolve the issue:
1. Balance Carry Forward for previous Fiscal year has not been done. Run the Balance Carry Forward for the previous year and run the report again.
2. In case Balance Carry Forward run has been done and differences in GL Account Balances are still observed, check the Journal Entry Type and Sub Ledger Account Line Item Type for the journal entries corresponding to the G/L Account through the following steps:
- Go to General Ledger Work Center.
- Go to Reports view.
- Go to List Sub view.
- Search with G/L Accounts-Line items.
- Here for the G/L Account XYZ, add the following characteristics: Sub Ledger Account Line item Type: Manual Entered Account and Journal Entry Type is Data Migration.
Any manual posting tax entries directly in the General Ledger work center/ Data Migration entries entered will not be recognized by the tax register hence a difference in the Tax - Trial Balance report is seen. It's needed to manually add the tax items posted in the general ledger and data migration into the return forms for submission to the tax authority.
