People are filing their own tax returns this year. They keep repeating old mistakes as before. Claiming the right deductions could put thousands of dollars back in their pockets. Late claims are allowed. 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 trigger audits. Many add extra claims to help pay the bills as prices increase across the country.
