How to complete the managed funds section in your return using myTax.

Last updated 1 September 2019

Complete this section if your only source of income from trusts, capital gains or foreign income is from managed funds.

If you have received a statement from one or more managed funds, for example, a property trust, share trust, equity trust, growth trust, imputation trust or balanced trust, that shows income, deductions or credits that would normally appear at various sections of your tax return, you can choose to complete this section instead of entering the details from the statements at each of those sections.

Completing this section

We pre-fill your tax return with information provided to us by managed investment funds and trusts. Check for any managed funds distributions you received that are not pre-filled and ensure you add them.

If the information is not pre-filled, you will need your statement from the managed fund. Your statement will indicate where you need to show the amounts on your tax return.

  • Your statement may include the:
    • tax return label (such as 13U)
    • tax return field name (such as Non-primary production income).
  • In myTax at Managed funds distributions enter the amount at the corresponding field, such as 13U. Total non-primary production income.

If you think that any detail is wrong or is missing from the statement, contact the fund manager.

  1. For each managed fund not pre-filled, select Add and enter information into the corresponding fields.

    Joint accounts
    If you had a joint account, show the number of account holders and the total amounts. MyTax will divide the amounts equally between the number of account holders.
    You may alter your share of the amounts. If you do, keep a record of how you worked out your share.
  2. For each managed fund statement that has a 13S. Total credit for tax paid by trustee greater than '0':    
    1. select the Reason the trustee paid tax
    2. enter the Share of income.
  3. Select Save.
  4. Select Save and continue.
