Education tax refund, baby bonus and refund of franking tax credits claims
Education tax refund (ETR) claims, baby bonus (BB) claims and applications for refund of franking credits (RFC) can be lodged:
on your client's income tax return, or
as a stand alone claim, if your client is not required to lodge a return.
To ensure claims can be processed, they must be completed correctly.
What you need to do
If you are lodging via the electronic lodgment service (ELS) for a client who is not otherwise required to lodge an individual tax return, do not complete the spouse details section of the return.
