  ATB-1805
• Validations tests comparing the value in Schedule W and the individual return have been removed for D1, D2, D3 and D5. See ATO compliance changes for details.

• At D6 in the Deductions schedule, entering 0 in Low value pool deductions relating to financial investments or Low value pool deductions relating to rental properties wouldn't let you save unless you entered the full amount in the corresponding field. This caused DDCTNS.000211 on validation.

  ATB-1785

• You'll no longer get error V2119 - "ETP schedule is not needed" on F3 validation when a return has multiple Employment Termination Payment (py) schedules.

• CMN.ATO.XBRL03 & XBRL04
  Message: A field contains invalid data. The value specified for an item does not match the item type & A mandatory field has not been completed.
  The issue was caused when codes that had changed at D3 and D4 rolling from the prior year, and when the return was completed without selecting the new code. The following scenarios have been corrected:
  • D3—Occupation-specific clothing. The hyphen has been removed in 2019.
  • D4—Study has direct connection to skills req'd for current. New picklist in 2019.
  • D5—Connection based on improved inc. potential in current. New picklist in 2019.

  ATB-1811

• CMN.ATO.IITR.730000

  Message: Work related car expenses amount must be provided.

  This error occurred where there was a motor vehicle expenses worksheet (mve) with no amount. In 2019.0a, if there's a mve with no amount, data for that worksheet won't be output. For more information, see EI 2019: CMN.ATO.IITR.730000 - Work related car expenses amount must be provided.

  ATB-1800
• CMN.ATO.IITR.730001
  Message: Work related car expenses amount is incorrect.
  This error was caused by the rounding up of dollars from the motor vehicle expenses (mve) worksheet. Returns were rejected in any of the following situations:
  • the cents per km multiplied by the number of kilometres equalled a total with cents greater than 49 cents
  • the percentage allocated to a deduction item for the log book method was greater than 49 cents
  • the total of multiple motor vehicles caused rounding issues.

  For more information, see EI 2019: CMN.ATO.IITR.730001 when lodging 2019 Individual Tax returns.

  ATB-1806

• CMN.ATO.IITR.730304

  ATB-1807

• CMN.ATO.IITR.730208
  Message: Low value pool deductions amount is incorrect.
  There was an issue when a return had a depreciation item integrating to a label other than D6. Opening the depreciation item, or the worksheet that the depreciation item integrated to, added the amount in the low value pool to the Remaining low value pool deductions field at D6 in the Deductions schedule. Opening the Deductions schedule corrected the value.

  ATB-1819

• CMN.ATO.IITR.301101

  Message: Estimated total income is incorrect

  This error was caused by having both data manually entered and data pre-filled in the Other income – Category 3 worksheet (oir) at item 24 label R for the First Home Super Saver Scheme.
