After downloading the pre-fill report, you can use the downloaded information to pre-fill into Tax.
Existing pre-fill information in a tax return will be overwritten.
Select the tax return you want to pre-fill.
The return should have a Pre-fill Status of “Ready for Pre-fill”. You will not be able to select the return if:the return is currently downloading or pre-filling
the Return Name, Client Code, Agent, or TFN is blank
the Agent is not onboarded.
Click Pre-fill into Tax in the Tasks bar. You will see a notification message depending on the status of your selected returns. See the Pre-fill notification message matrix below for more information.
Click Yes to proceed, or No to close the dialog and resolve the issue. The Pre-fill Status changes to Pre-filling. When the pre-fill is finished, the Pre-fill Status changes to Pre-fill Complete, and the Date Pre-filled changes to today’s date.
If there are any issues during the pre-fill process, an error message will display with a link. See Pre-fill errors.
Click the Return Name link. The tax return opens.
In Tax, press F3 to validate the tax return and review the pre-fill data before completing and lodging. The Validation summary window displays fields that have been pre-filled and any errors that need to be resolved.
