The F4 estimate includes any Beneficiary tax offset available.
If there is both a Beneficiary tax offset (BTO) and a Senior or Pensioner's tax offset (SATO) calculated on F4, you cannot have both. You'll be given the higher of the two.
Pre-filling from the ATO Portal
The aga worksheet fields receive information from the ATO Portal pre-fill report. For practices currently using the Pre-fill functionality for Interest and Dividends in the int or div worksheets, the aga behaves in the same way.
With the income tax return open, select Utilities > Import from Tax Office Pre-fill Report. MYOB Tax reads the Pre-fill report and populates the worksheet with text and amounts.
Following the import, a report is printed advising what was or was not imported; including any messages regarding the client’s Family Tax Benefits status, if relevant.
When Pre-fill completes, we'll ask if you want to Print Import Summary?
Select Yes to see the preview or print options.
