People are doing their own tax returns this year. They keep repeating old mistakes as before. Claiming the eligible deductions could put up to a significant amount back in their pockets. Late claims are allowed. These extra refunds often go directly to savings accounts because living costs keep climbing. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) warns against overstating deductions. Getting the numbers wrong in Division 296 cases could lead to issues. Many add more deductions to help pay the bills as prices go up across the country.
