What’s new on the Etax 2021 tax return?
Last year, we asked thousands of Etax users for feedback and suggestions. Then we got straight to work on the 2021 tax return. Here are some past suggestions from Etax users that are ready to use 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.

“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.

“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 2021, 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).
