Spend the 70 bucks and get h&r block to do it.

Yeah, you can claim their fee next year

Easy to do it yourself for free on etax.

The tax agents used to charge $90 around here a few years ago.

or ITP....found they are sometimes better than blockheads. Most of the tax agents at both are very experienced. Doing a tax return is simple....it's knowing all the 'latest' rulings - you might save yourself $70+ doing it yourself BUT you may not know about an allowable tax deduction e.g. a new $200 one for some work wear or a change to allowable deductions for something else. Paying a reputable income tax agent is well worth the few dollars IMO......in normal/straight forward/uncomplicated income tax situations all you have to give them are group certs and dockets/receipts/bank statements, your bank details and tax file number all in a 20 minute consult..... that's usually it. Sometimes they might call you and ask /check for further piece of info to be dropped in/sighted/faxed/emailed.

Hmmm.   Wonder if I can claim my onesie for a uniform?

 

It is industrial polar fleece 

 

Paying a tax agent is a waste of money for a fairly simple tax return.

Etax guides you through every allowable deduction and every other tax aspect. It is comprehensive and of course very up to date.

You just check yes or no, to everything that comes up. There is also a ? Which can be clicked on which gives info about each deuction/allowance or whatever.

Bank interest, share dividends etc is already loaded by the ATO.

Easy peasy.

Stawka - only if ithe onesie is compulsory uniform in your (paid) workplace and has your work logo on it. 😉

Seems a funny way to do ones income tax ref etax IMO.....all online and easy 'peasy' for the govt to have direct access to ALL your info.....at the press of a button. Sounds like etax submissions relieves govt of all their admin work and income tax applicants might be missing out on claiming for something. Just my opinion 'tis all.
