For Tax Time 2009, deliveries of TaxPack and TaxPack supplement packages to Northern Territory, South Australia, Queensland and Tasmania will be replaced with an e-tax 2009 CD mail pack. The CD will contain the e-tax 2009 software which can be easily installed onto a personal computer to prepare your tax return and then lodge online.
E-tax from the Tax Office is the free tax return preparation software that ensures most refunds are issued in 14 days. By using encryption technology, e-tax ensures your details are secure during transmission over the internet. e-tax asks you simple questions to help you work through the answers to complete your tax return, and has calculators to help you get it right.
E-tax gives you access to your individual information using the pre-filling service. You can download details of your income including salary and wages, government payments, interest and dividends and have e-tax pre-fill that information straight into your return. Pre-filling Information will be progressively available from July with most information available by mid August. You can also register for the alerts service in e-tax and we will let you know when more of your information becomes available.
