Use the Personalise return screen to select items that apply to you.
Based on pre-fill information, we may have made some selections for you. You cannot remove any selections we made for you, even if you think the circumstances do not apply to you.
You can delete any relevant pre-filled information from the Prepare return screen.
You can make other selections that may apply to include them in your tax return. This will tailor your tax return to your situation.
If you can't see an item to select, it's because it will already be shown on the Prepare return screen or is not required to be included in your tax return.
Watch our video for a demonstration on how to personalise your tax return.
