Guide to lodging your tax return

Pre-filling service in e-tax

By using the pre-filling service in e-tax you can download information we have received from other organisations (for example, your employer, bank and other government agencies) directly into the relevant labels of your tax return. That means we can help to fill out your tax return for you with the information we have already received about your tax affairs and all you need to do is to review and compare them against your records.

If there are discrepancies between your records and the pre-filled information, you need to contact the organisation which has provided the information to the ATO and resolve the matter before you lodge. This can save you from having to amend your tax return, or explain discrepancies after you lodge.
