You can now enter a detailed breakdown directly under a field, so you know exactly how the amount is calculated without leaving the schedule. This improves clarity and transparency by clearly showing how the total is made up.
The breakdown of the amounts can be sourced from other worksheets, such as Borrowing expenses and Tax depreciation, and will also be displayed when printing the tax return.

New schedule : Foreign rental property in Individual tax return (2025 and 2026)

April 2026
Calculate Employment Termination Payment offset
Available from 2025 onwards
If an Employment Termination Payment (ETP) is included in the tax return, the system will now automatically calculate the ETP offset based on the year-specific caps and rates. The calculated amount is included in the tax estimate as a non-refundable tax offset.
Currently, we calculate only for life benefit ETPs (codes R, S, O, P). Death benefit ETPs (codes D, N, B) calculations is coming later.
2026 FBT returns are now available in Practice Compliance
If you use AE/AO, you can create and lodge 2026 FBT returns only in Practice Compliance.
2025 and prior can be created in both AE/AO and Practice Compliance. Historical data for 2025 and prior FBT returns will be available in AE/AO.

More options when previewing tax returns
The improved Preview documents window lets you select which documents to include in your preview and how you want them to appear.
You can include documents like tax estimate, tax return, schedules and worksheets separately, depending on what you need, and choose from display options like Completed fields only, Draft watermark, or Mask TFN.
The options you'll see depend on the type of form you're in.
Returns upgraded and ready to go

Navigate your tax returns faster with new section arrows
The up and down arrows at the top right of each section let you jump straight to the next or previous item, so you can move through the return without scrolling. The return now loads faster as you work through each section separately.
If you prefer using the keyboard for navigation, use Ctrl + Shift + ↑/↓ (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + ↑/↓ (Mac).
