michaelmars Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 a staffer is trying to do her first arizona sales tax and the prior filings don't make sense to us. Is there anyone familiar with the monthly sales tax report for a restaurant that we can call for some guidence? we are in NY and this is our first one and its due the 20th. thanks -michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm not that familiar with it, but I do know that the program has the forms in it, and they are pretty helpful. Did you try using the ATX form? If you go do the bunny hop on the lines, it takes you to the detail, where there are pull-down menus to select from, and much of the work is then done for you, such as determining the codes, class, rates, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmars Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 It appear the previous cpa didn't include all sales and took credits etc. the forms are fine but fiquring out what to report with in-house, takeout and liquor etc sales. Either this is extremely complicated or the prior did it wrong because i can't figure out what he reported even though the monthly sales reports were stapled to the clients sales tax forms.

kcjenkins Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well, I'd probably ignore the old forms, then, and just start from scratch and do it the way I read the instructions to mean. That way, you can defend what you did, without any reference to his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd Hudson Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Arizona Sales tax is complicated. I only do contractors but there are differnet rates for take out and table service. ATX bunny hop does not lead you through the details very well. tables and excel spreadsheets are at AZDOR.gov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
