    I’m keen to do my tax return but my work hasn’t finialsed the income statement for the year yet so I have to wait till they do that then it’s pretty much straight forward to get it processed.

    I hope they get it done soon as that’s the only thing holding me up from doing it.

      I need to get onto it today - thought prefill wouldn’t be available for a few days but it’s all there thankfully. Might even just do it over lunch. I need that tax return 😭

      E: ah wait, my old job’s income statement is in, but not my current one.

      It seems like the ATO doesn’t really process these early tax returns until the info is in anyway so probably not much benefit filing it early. Though I’m very confident of the info

        I did a very rough estimate and I’ll get something back, nothing mindblowing but it’s something.

        I hope they also process it faster than 14 business days as well.

        Let’s hope both our income statements are finalised soon!

        All of min will be pre-filled except for a few deductions. I’ll give it a week then hit up that next, next, next, tick the authorise box and submit process.

          My income is all pre-filled, just that the income statement isn’t ready. But as my pay is nothing special (no salary sacrifice, special lease arrangements, FBT etc etc) and the amounts line up with my last “FY-to-date” amount on my payslip, I’m just going to accept the reported income.

          Put in a bunch of deductions this year notably voluntary super contributions.

          Only getting about 800ish back but it’s better than the 1.5k or so I was going to be owing by my calculations. Insufficient tax taken out of second job last year, painful …
