Adjusting GST HST Payable GL

Q: How do I make an adjustment to the GST/HST General Ledger Account?  I need to make a journal entry for rental income and it includes HST.  Do I just do a journal entry to the GL for the Rental Income and then another to the GST/HST Payable GL (2400) account? 

A:  DO NOT do the journal entry to the GST/HST Payable GL.  Do the journal entry to the Rental GL Account but for the GST/HST payable account follow the steps below to adjust the GST/HST Payable GL.  

1.  Click on DATA ENTRY -> OPERATING OUT; 

2.  Create a cheque for zero ($0.00) dollars but in the GST/HST area put in the HST Rental amount; 

3.  In the “GL Acct” choose an expense account; 

4.  Press save and acknowledge the $0.00 entry.  That will adjust the GST/HST payable GL.
