If you are getting ready to make your appointment for preparation of your 2011 Individual Income Tax Return then please review this checklist to ensure you have all the necessary paperwork. This is especially important in July and August as the ATO cannot provide information in their reports that early on.

If you have any questions about what you may, or may not need to bring, please call or email us, we are more than happy to assist.

Also, be aware that you don’t need to come in to enable us to do your return. We often complete returns via phone, post or email.

IMPORTANT: Bring your bank account details if you are expecting a refund!
