At Sydney Bookkeeping, our tax return service keeps diligent and accurate recordsand reports with precision making sure to examine several items including:
- Income Not Reported: Mistakes are made when a person switches jobs in a given year. Perhaps earned income from a forgotten bank account has not been itemized. The ATO reports forgotten income is one of the most common mistakes revealed when returns are examined. The ATO receives a notice from financial institutions about earned income from deposits on hand. The ATO matches these reports to tax returns submitted. It is easy to forget a small amount of interest income from an inactive bank account. Always include interest income from every source making sure to claim it.
- Deductions and Offsets Not Taken: Unless a professional tax preparer, most people have no clue as to the extent deductions can be identified that helps reduce – or offset – tax liability. The ATO reports this to be the second most common error tax payers make annually.

A professional tax return service will investigate and incorporate all valid offsets for which a tax payer can qualify.
