Reminders and advisory messages

E-tax displays reminders and advisory messages where you have either:

• omitted to include certain information
• received certain letters from us throughout the year, such as letters regarding deductions you claimed on your last tax return.

Advisory messages use current year information reported by third parties as reminders of:

• rental properties sold or transferred that may be subject to capital gains tax
• share investments that may be affected by a class ruling, a share buyback, or disposed of and subject to capital gains tax.

Reminders rely on the information you entered on your previous year's tax return to provide:

• details of income sources declared on your 2011 tax return that may need to be declared again; for example
• partnership and trust income
• personal services income
• net income or loss from a business
• net capital losses carried forward
• foreign source income
• foreign entities
• rental property address details from your 2010-11 rental property schedule.
