TFN Declaration Electronic Lodgement

Retreev

Hi,

I have set up a couple of new employees and thought that Reckon Accounts Hosted lodged the TFN declaration once I lodged the next STP report through Reckon.

But what I didn't realise is that I am supposed to tick a box when setting up the employee, but mine doesn't have that box. See screenshot...

Am I supposed to set something up in the background to enable this feature, or do I just need to keep sending the forms in by post?

Thank you.

Hi Retreev

The checkbox was removed in the latest release. You just need to enter an Employee Declaration Date now & it flows through automatically in your STP submissions ☺️

Thanks for your help.

Just one more question, is there a way to check that it has gone through as part of the STP submission, or do we just assume it 'worked'?

Hi @Retreev,

You can check your GovConnect entity to see if any errors occur with the STP Submission status.

If it displays 'error' on the status, you will need to check the error message and if you do not understand the message as sometimes it can be vague, please contact us on 1800 732 566 to assist you. Thank you.

Cheers,

Lucas

Hi @Retreev

It's something that submits 'behind-the-scenes' so there's not actually anywhere displaying confirmation of it 😬

As long as you've entered a date, it will go through 😊

Hi Shaz

Would the Employee declaration date be the date that the employee started? So just to clarify does that mean

we no longer have to submit a paper form?

Hi @bella_10864825

This electronic submission replaces the need to send the form in so that’s correct, no need to post the actual form itself anymore ☺️

The actual date to enter is the same as if they completed (& dated) the physical form - Any date is fine as long as it’s within 6 weeks of their Hire Date ☺️
