Print Options

The following section details the options that can be configured as practice defaults on the Print Options window.

Copies tab

On the Copies tab select the number of copies of each component to be printed. You can configure the number of copies for the following components:

• Estimates — specifies the number of copies of the estimate that will be produced. On the Estimates tab select to print either, the Formal estimate or the detailed (working) estimate or both and various calculation audit trails.

• Electronic Lodgment Declaration — specifies the number of copies of the declaration that will be produced. On the Attributes tab how the declarations are printed may be further specified.

• Client copy — specifies the number of copies of the form, ATO schedules (such as lodgable schedules), AE Tax worksheets and Notes that will be produced. On the Attributes tab how these are printed may be further specified.

• Letter — specifies the number of copies of the letter that will be produced. On the Letter and Invoice tab select the layouts to be used when printing these documents.

• Substantiation declaration — specifies the number of copies of the Substantiation declaration that will be produced. This is applicable to individual taxpayers and covers work, car, business and travel expenses.

• Invoice — specifies the number of copies of the practice default invoice that will be produced.

Attributes tab

On the Attributes tab control what exactly will be included when printing. Check the checkbox to select the option. The options on the Attributes tab include:

• Validate for ELS — validate the return for lodgment prior to printing. This option is normally selected. If the return does not validate successfully a report listing the errors and warnings will print instead.

• Print estimate after form and schedules — print the estimate at the end of the return and schedules instead of at the beginning of the print job.

• Print ELD after form and schedules — print the ELD at the end of the return instead of before the Front Cover.

• Print ELD in PDF format — print the ELD as part of the facsimile printing.

• Exclude completion footer (PDF printing only) — create the PDF return without completion status printing.

• Hide TFN/Hide all EFT details (I/C/F/MS/T/EB) — print the tax return omitting any Tax File Numbers or EFT details. This is suitable for printing copies of tax returns for banks, financial institutions, solicitors, and so on. It is not normally selected as a practice default, rather you would select this when you print a selected return.

• Exclude depreciation worksheet — prevent the Depreciation worksheet from being printed with the return. The worksheet must be printed separately.

• Include detailed capital gains worksheet — print each capital gains transaction in detail.

• Include summary capital gains worksheet — print a summary of all capital gains transactions and the application of losses with the return.

• Upper case front cover — convert and print the text on the front cover to upper case.

• Include motor vehicle declaration — print the Motor Vehicle Declaration, if applicable, with the form.

• Duplex printing — enables duplex (double sided) printing if your printer provides for duplex settings.

Estimates tab

On the Estimates tab configure the practice defaults for what is included in the standard for a return. The options on the Estimates tab include:

• Estimate — print both formats of estimates with the return, the Tax Estimate and the Detailed Estimate. The Tax Estimate is laid out in a similar style to the ATO Assessment.

• Detailed Estimate — select to print the estimate in a Detailed format. The Detailed Estimate is laid out in the order in which Tax is calculated and rebates, Medicare Levy and other Credits applied.

• Estimate with payment schedule — The Payments Schedule contains details of the primary Tax payable and an estimated date of payment which is based upon the machine date at the time of printing unless an alternative date is keyed in the Estimated lodgment date field.

• Estimated lodgment date — enter the date you expect to lodge the return and the estimated date of payment will be calculated from that date. The date defaults to today’s date. This field is only available when the Estimate with payment schedule checkbox is selected.

• Estimate type — select the type of estimate payment cycle from the drop-down. This field is only available when the Estimate with payment schedule checkbox is selected.

• Medicare audit trails — include the detailed calculation of Medicare and the Medicare Levy Surcharge where applicable.

• Pensioner/SATO offset audit trail — include the detailed calculation of the SATO or pensioner offset.
