Add Form

Select the Year to Fill. Note that we have changed the design for the form from 2017 onward. Old forms can still be used.

"Lodgement Date" is automatic date from ATO, but you can also manage to change it if necessary.

Assuming you've imported your accounts and classified them, the relevant sections of the form should be activated for use. If you need to activate other sectors for manual fill, select them and then push Complete to initiate the task of completing the form.

Once you've worked in the form, you may need to turn-on certain reporting sections. You can do so via -
