Prepare a return

Amending a Return

You can file an amendment electronically using the Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE E-Filing Manager application. You can also still do a traditional non-electronic lodgment and we have made this easier for you.
It is not sufficient to just copy and amend the entity. If you simply make a copy of an entity under the same client, there is a risk that certain threshold tests such as RFBA and in-house reduction may be applied twice. The preferred process is outlined below.
note
Before starting an amendment of your FBT return, see the ATO guidance for advice.

Processing an amendment

  1. Select
    ATO Return
    , then
    ATO Return
     again.
  2. Use the
    Reporting Entity
     dropdown to select the reporting entity or reporting group to be amended.
  3. Select the
    Amend Return
     button on the toolbar.
    tip
    This button only appears if a return has been filed for the reporting entity.
  4. The Amend Return page provides a checklist of questions you must answer before submitting an amendment. Verify these conditions have been met, then type your reason for the amendment in the
    Amendment Return Reason
     box.
  5. Click into the
    Amendment Type
     section and use the dropdown to indicate the amendment type (tax office or tax payer error).
  6. Select the
    OK
     button on the toolbar.
