Pre-filling service - e-tax

How do you use the pre-filling service?

To access the pre-filling service you need to download e-tax and verify your identity.

You can choose to pre-fill your return:

• at the start of your e-tax interview (select the Yes button when e-tax asks you if you would like to use pre-filling)
• any time during your e-tax interview (select the Pre-fill button below the Navigator bar).

You do not need to use the same computer as last year to use the pre-filling service.

Once your data has been pre-filled into your e-tax return you will find:

• some information and amounts have been downloaded and pre-filled directly into the correct labels
• other information, such as reminders, are downloaded into a summary for you to review.

You then:

• check the pre-filled information against your own records
• correct the pre-filled information if necessary
• delete any duplicated information
• add any missing details.

You must review all pre-filled information

The information and amounts we pre-fill from third-party organisations may be incomplete or different from your own records.
