Most Centrelink payment information should now be pre-filled in your Australian Taxation Office (ATO) tax return.
It’s best to lodge your tax return once all your information pre-fills.
Most Centrelink payment information has pre-filled in ATO myTax. If you got other income it may not pre-fill until late July.
Waiting for your information to pre-fill helps you avoid mistakes. If you do miss some income or make a mistake, you’ll have to amend and resubmit your tax return.
Find out what to do at tax time on the myGov website.
