Bank account changes may not update EFT details on the Front cover

Check EFT bank details before lodging a return

If you update the bank details in Return Properties > Bank a/c, the changes may not appear in the Front cover > Electronic funds transfer (EFT). The return is lodged with the old bank details, so the ATO may pay refunds into the wrong account.

What do you need to do?

If you update bank account details in Return Properties > Bank a/c, tab out of each field after making a change.

Before lodging, check Front cover > Electronic funds transfer (EFT) to confirm the updated bank details are showing. Only lodge once the correct details appear on the Front cover.

Always check Front cover > Electronic funds transfer (EFT) before lodging to make sure the refund will be paid to the correct account.
