About pre-filling

Most of your information is now available to pre-fill into e-tax. If you have pre-filled your e-tax return and think some of your information is missing, refer to Where is my pre-filling information?

Pre-filling is a service available within e-tax which partially completes your tax return for you. It downloads information straight into your e-tax return using:

• the data we already have from your previous returns and account activity, and
• current year information from organisations who are required to report to us, such as employers, banks, government agencies and others.

It is designed to help you by making your e-tax return easier to complete and more accurate.

Information is available to download into e-tax as it is sent to us from other organisations, with most information now available.

Watch our video Pre-filling on the ATO's YouTube channel.
