In addition to including a franking credit at L, you must also include it at either:

• E1 Complying fund’s franking credits tax offset in Section D if the SMSF is a complying fund
• C2 Rebates and tax offsets in Section D if the SMSF is a non-complying fund.

If you include an amount at L that is exempt current pension income, also include it at Y Exempt current pension income.
