In MYOB Tax you have the option to remove the Tax File Number (TFN) when printing the return.  This can be very useful in protecting your clients identification especially if the return needs to be reviewed or sent to an external third party.

These instructions will step you through editing the properties of a pre-existing print job so that you can select this print job as it is needed on a case by case basis.

This will not alter your default print job options.

To edit the properties of a Print Job

Ensure that you only use a print job that is not otherwise your default print job (denoted with a green tick) or a print job that is frequently used.

Perform the following instructions from within any current year tax return.

  1. Follow the menu path: Utilities > Practice default options > Print options. The Print tax form options window opens.

  2. Highlight a print job that is not used (example:  Review) and click Properties. The Print Options window opens.

    Ensure that you are not selecting your default print job.  This print job is denoted with an assigned green tick.  You should select a print job that is not used at all or very infrequently.

  3. Click the Attributes tab.

  4. Select the Hide TFN checkbox. A tick appears in the nominated checkbox.

  5. Click OK. The Print tax form options window appears.

  6. Click Close. The tax return appears.

If you want to hide TFN in an estimate, contact our support team so we can step you through the process.
