Hi, I am unable to upload my Taxable Payments Report using the online facility for the Taxation Department. Even though I have used this in previous years, I get the following error messages: TEST FAILED FILE CONTENT VALIDATION REPORT Your File Tax Payments was received by the Australian Taxation Office. Your file has FAILED FILE CONTENT TEST. The errors found are listed below. Please correct the errors, then re-test the file before lodging. Your file contained warnings because some of the fields contained data that may not be correct or data was missing.

    Hi Karen  What version of accounts are you using?
    Maybe try rebuilding the file. 
    All of mine have gone through so far with no issues like yours are.  Cheers Wilma

    Hi. I fixed it in the end with a lot of trial and error. The technician was great! You need to run your report in Reckon, then select only few suppliers at a time(depending on how many suppliers on your report). I did 10 at a time. Try to upload those to the ATO so that you are narrowing down where the error is. Mine was simply an additional space in an address. You need to take out all common, full stops and '&' characters. Have the names and address very plain and simple with only one space between words and postcodes. You just need to keep selecting a few suppliers at a time to narrow down where the mistake is. If you need more help, just ask. Cheers Karen
