TFN withholding	The amount of tax withheld for failing to quote a tax file number (TFN). We include the total TFN amount withheld as a credit against tax payable in the taxpayer's F4 estimate.
Interest $	Gross: The full amount of the interest income received from the financial institution or loan repayment.
Interest $	Apportioned: The amount earned by the taxpayer. If it's not shared, you'll see the full amount.
Share account?	If you hold a joint account with another taxpayer, entering Y opens the Index of Joint Owners (the Sharees). See sharing interest income below.
Early payment interest credit	The total amount of interest received from the ATO when you pay your various tax liabilities ten or more days before the due date for payment. We save this amount from the previous year and then roll it forward into the int worksheet for inclusion in taxable income in the following year.
Total share for this return	Shows the amount for the taxpayer's return. We filter this amount to the labels in the relevant return and include it in taxable income.
Interest deductions	Enter a description for the type of deduction and its amount. Press Ctrl+Insert to create additional sets of fields or Ctrl+Delete to delete excess inserted groups.
Total interest deductions	This is the total of all interest deduction transactions. There are differences in the way we treat the total interest deductions in some returns. See Interest income and deductions integration to return labels.

Sharing interest income

If you select Y at Share Account? follow these steps to create the share transaction details:

From the Index of Joint Owners window, click New. The Share details window opens.
In the General tab, press F10 in the Share to : field or click the ellipsis (...) to open the Select return index.
Select the return that is to receive the share.
Enter the percentage share for the taxpayer receiving the share (the Sharee).
Press F6 to save the entry, then click Cancel to return to the index.
Click Close if there are no other joint owners. Otherwise select New and repeat steps 2 to 5.
We'll filter the taxpayer's share through to the labels in the relevant income tax return.
We'll create a Received from interest transaction in the Sharee's return.

See Index of Joint Owners to learn how to edit or delete shared transaction entries.

The return of the taxpayer receiving the share must be at a status of In progress AND have a TFN.
If you've shared a transaction, you can't edit it in the sharee's return. You'll need to make any changes in the return of the taxpayer making the share (the host).
