How to get started:
1. Register
Go to our ITP E-TAX ASSISTANT ONLINE entry page (click on the button at the bottom of this age) and select a user name and password for yourself. Hint - make a note for yourself of what these are.
2. Create your account
Create your ITP E-TAX ASSISTANT ONLINE account by providing your valid tax file number and contact details, such as an active email address, telephone number, home and postal address.
3. Complete the online questionnaire
The online questionnaire is used to assess your circumstances during the financial year, thereby allowing the system to customise your tax return so it only retains items that relate to you. You will also need to provide your contact details and relevant financial information.
The extensive help system and comprehensive worksheets will act as a step-by-step guide as you complete your tax return. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to use our built-in messaging system requesting assistance from your ITP accountant.
To minimise your data entry load, you can also ask your ITP accountant to load an Australian Tax Office pre-filling report. These contain personal financial data collected by the Tax Office from various institutions, such as your employer(s), Centrelink, Family Assistance Office etc.
If you wish to finish preparing your tax return at a later time, you can save any information you have already entered; ready to continue when you want. Any mistakes you make can be easily corrected as you go. Just visit our website and login again.
4. Validate you input
once all information is entered you will be required to validate your tax return, ensuring there are no logical errors in the answers you have supplied. Our system has a very powerful validation engine that will assist you in correcting any logical errors you may have.
5. Payment and lodgment of the return
Only once your tax return is completed and validated is payment required. The fee is calculated based on the complexity of your tax return. You can choose to have your fee deducted from your refund.
6. Digitally sign your return
Once payment is made and your tax return has been reviewed by your ITP accountant, you will have to digitally sign your tax return online so it can be electronically lodged by ITP with the Tax Office.
7. Refund
Your return will be processed and your refund transferred to your nominated account by the Tax Office within 14 days of lodgment. If you opted to pay the fee from your refund, the refund will be sent to an ITP trust account. The ITP accountant will charge their service fee from the refund and will then transfer the remaining refund amount to your nominated account.
And - your next year's tax return will be easier again - just re-visit our WWW.ITPTAX.COM website and login to your account next year and you will have the previous year's data to work from.
