People are handling their own tax returns this year. They keep making the same mistakes as before. Claiming the correct deductions could put thousands of dollars back in their pockets. Late claims are still possible. These extra refunds often go directly to savings accounts because living costs keep increasing. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) warns against overstating deductions. Getting the numbers wrong in Division 296 cases could lead to issues. Many add additional write-offs to help pay the bills as prices go up across the country.
