Interest Deductions worksheet (idd)
The ATO requires that expenses incurred in earning Interest income be declared separately. In addition, where the expenses are greater than $4,999 an Interest and Dividend Schedule BJ must be completed and lodged with the return.
Do not show losses you have made on financial arrangements that are subject to tax under the TOFA rules at this item. These are shown at item D15 on your tax return.
If you have elected to have the TOFA rules apply to your affairs, before you complete your return and this question you must refer to Completing the tax return for individuals where the TOFA rules apply available on the ATO website, www.ato.gov.au/tofa
Values entered in this worksheet may need to be included in the Net financial investment income or loss worksheet at Income Test item IT5. Therefore, if you have interest expenses this year use the idd worksheet.
As the entire amount entered in this worksheet may not relate to Managed Investment Fund distributions, a question has been introduced to ascertain this information. When the answer to this question is Yes, the entire amount will be integrated to the worksheet at IT5; if the answer is No, then the preparer is required to enter the amount that does so apply. If none of the amount applies, you need to key a zero.
The Interest Deductions worksheet (idd) is provided at item D7. This worksheet provides dissection capability and provides integration from both the depreciation worksheet and the motor vehicle worksheet.
