People are filing their own tax returns this year. They keep making the same mistakes as before. Claiming the correct deductions could put thousands of dollars back in their pockets. Late claims are allowed. These extra refunds often go right into 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 extra claims to help pay the bills as prices rise across the country.
