The ATO have introduced a new Deductions schedule (DDCTNS) attached to a 2019 Individual tax return. If you're a claiming deductions in a 2019 individual tax return, you'll need to enter the details of the deduction as a line entry(granular) in this new DDCTNS schedule. This is a mandatory schedule for all 2019 Individual tax return where you're claiming a deduction.
In a 2019 Individual tax return, we've created a new Deduction schedule(DDCTNS). You'll notice that we've removed some worksheets and made changes to other worksheets to integrate to the new DDCTNS schedule.
There are also changes to the way you enter data in the deductions label.
- To enter data in any deduction label, you'll need to use the DDCTNS schedule or any supporting worksheets which will integrate to the DDCTNS schedule.
- There is a limit on the maximum allowable records (line entries) for each deduction label.
Go to Using the DDCTNS in Tax to read about the data entry in the DDCTNS schedule.
When do I need a DDCTNS schedule?
If you're claiming a deduction in any of the labels below, you'll need to complete a DDCTNS schedule.
D1 - Work Related Car Deductions D2 - Work Related Travel Expenses D3 - Work Related Clothing, Laundry and Dry Cleaning Expenses D4 - Work Related Self Education Expenses D5 - Other Work-Related Expenses D6 - Low Value Pool Deduction D7 - Interest deductions | D8 Dividend Deductions D9 Gifts or Donations D10 Cost of Managing Tax Affairs D12 Personal Superannuation Contributions D13 Deduction for Project Pool D14 Forestry managed investment scheme deduction D15 Other Deductions |
D11 - Deductible Amount of Undeducted Purchase Price of a Foreign Pension or Annuity is not part of the deductions schedule. This is because D11 has only one label with no changes to show in the main tax return. The ATO are looking at making some changes for this label in the future.
How do I use the new DDCTNS schedule?
Accessing the new DDCTNS schedule
From within a 2019 Individual Tax return:
From the Preparation > Schedule
Under ATO Schedules on the left side.
Entering data in the DDCTNS schedule
You'll no longer be able to enter data directly into the deduction labels. Depending on the deduction item, you'll need to use the new DDCTNS schedule or any supporting worksheets. Each of the supporting worksheets are integrated to the new DDCTNS schedule to help you report it to the ATO.
When you click on any of the deduction labels, you'll see either
- the DDCTNS schedule or,
- the supporting worksheets like motor vehicle worksheet(mve) or depreciation worksheets which will then integrate to the DDCTNS schedule.
You can see additional repeating fields in the schedule to record the individual descriptions and amounts.
The table shows a comparison data entry in 2018 and 2019 and the maximum allowable records in each deduction label.

Rolling over deductions from 2018 to 2019
To implement the DDCTNS schedule, we've made structural changes to the software and replaced some of the worksheets and dissection grids. Hence, the existing deductions schedule from 2018 will not rollover into 2019.
