Pre-filling service - e-tax

Personal details

There are two ways to pre-fill your personal details into your 2012 e-tax return - using the pre-filling service and the rollover feature.

The pre-filling service can download the spouse details you included on your 2011 tax return.

You can also use the rollover feature in e-tax, which allows you to transfer (roll over) certain information from your 2011 tax return to this year's e-tax return.

You can roll over information in e-tax if both of the following apply:

• used e-tax to prepare your 2011 tax return
• have the e-tax 2011 data file (tax) located on the computer you are using to complete your 2012 tax return.

You can find instructions on how to use the rollover feature in e-tax.
