What’s New at Etax in 2020?

Etax is improved for 2019
After 22 years of user feedback and refinements, Etax 2020 is simply the best. It’s the most convenient and friendly way to do your tax return – and Australia agrees.

The Etax 2020 tax return is the best Australian tax return option, for these basic reasons:

  • A fantastic online tax return that’s smart, automated, fast and easy to use.
  • Friendly service and tax agent support.
  • Qualified accountants check your return and offer helpful advice… and they are on YOUR side – they don’t work for the ATO.
  • The online tax return is improved every year based on your feedback…

What’s new on the Etax 2020 tax return?

We asked for taxpayers’ feedback and suggestions, then we got straight to work on the 2019 tax return. Here are some past suggestions from Etax users that are ready now:


“Show me my Income Statement so I don’t have to use MyGov, and so I don’t have to use the ATO to find my income details”

Done.
You can find your income statements, from all employers, at the Income Statement page in the menu, when you log into your Etax account.

“Give me more deduction ideas based on my job” or “show me what deductions other people claim”

No problem.
First, carefully select your occupation in the first part of your Etax return. Then, when you get to the deductions section, your tax return will show you the most common tax deductions for people with jobs like yours! This helps you remember valuable claims that can boost your refund. Job-based deduction tips is improved for 2019.

Etax shows you what other people claim as tax deductions
One of the most common suggestions from clients was, show me what other people lodge. Okay! Just remember to select your occupation at the start of your return.

 


“Show me what I selected last year”

Okay. Etax shows you last year’s deduction sections, to save you time and help avoid forgotten deductions.

Have you lodged a tax return with us previously? Items you claimed last year will be suggested for you.

“I have things left over”

That’s a common problem, solved!
Down at the very bottom of your Etax return, there’s a new section called “Any other questions”. You can add anything here — bits you can’t find, leftovers, numbers from a receipt, a question for an accountant, even attach a receipt.

The Etax team will take it from there after you sign your return.

“More Live Chat please”

Okay – In 2020, our team will be even bigger, ready to help.


“Make Etax look prettier”

Our pleasure! Watch for lots of nice, simple design changes. Easier to read, faster to use.


Those were just a few examples of Etax upgrades and improvements – if we listed them all, this page would be endless. But for you, these upgrades mean you’ll get your tax return done in a few minutes AND see how it all works (and what your refund will be).
