2026 Individual tax return

Amount at TPS schedule is incorrect deducted from Business schedule income

In a 2026 IITR with both a TPS schedule and Business schedule, the TPS amount may be incorrectly deducted from the Business schedule’s non-primary income at Item P8 label J.

We’re aware of this issue and working on a solution.

As a workaround,

1. Delete the TPS schedule, then reopen the Business schedule so the correct amounts reintegrate.

2. Recreate the TPS schedule and don’t reopen the Business schedule after that.

Error : NO PDFs found to process using master file: C:\Users\XXXXXXX\XXX\XXX\FAX_TEMP\ELD\FAXELD.INI

This error appears when printing ELD (in a PDF format) in 2026 Trust, Partnership and SMSF tax returns.

(You’ve ticked Print ELD in PDF format in the print options)

While we fix this issue, download and attach 2026 ELD to your tax return.

ATO pre-fill

IT3 Tax free government pensions not pre-filling into the tax return

The ATO pre-fill document shows the pre-fill data for IT3 Tax free government pensions but doesn’t pre-fill in the tax return

We’re aware of this issue and working on a solution.

As a workaround, enter the amounts manually.

2025 Individual tax return

Compulsory HELP repayment estimate incorrect

The compulsory HELP repayment for a resident taxpayer whose repayment income is above the 2024–25 minimum threshold.

We’re aware of this issue and working on a solution.

2026 Trust return

Beneficiary Entity code not rolling over from 2025 to 2026

In the Statement of Distribution - Beneficiary, the Entity code is not rolling over from 2025 to 2026 tax return.

As a workaround, add the Entity code manually in the Distribution statement.

Incorrect messaging when removing employee from a client’s Responsibility tab

If Team security isn’t selected in the Client’s Responsibility tab, removing an employee may show an incorrect message that file access will be removed.

File access won’t be removed.

If you have Team security ticked, then deleting an employee will remove file access.

We’ll update the message in the window to show that the file access will not be removed when an employee is removed from the Client’s Responsibility tab when the Team security is turned off.

In Trust and Partnership returns deductions entered at Item 18 incorrectly increase Assessable Government Industry Payments in Business Schedule C (Primary Production)

This caused Gross income/loss from primary production to increase incorrectly and integrated amounts at Item 5: Label E, Label G and Total business income.

As a workaround, review the totals ant Item 5, prior to lodging and enter the amounts manually.
