People are handling their own tax returns this year. They keep making the same mistakes as before. Claiming the correct deductions could put up to a significant amount back in their pockets. Late claims are still possible. 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 cause problems. Many add more deductions to help pay the bills as prices rise across the country.
