The Express Tax form works for any kind of personal tax return, including Airbnb and non-Airbnb tax returns, regular rental properties, employees, small businesses, share trading and capital gains tax. You can lodge the current financial year and also previous financial years.  It usually takes 20-30 minutes to complete depending on how complex your tax return is.

You'll find a list below of the information you'll need handy. It's best to wait until you have all your tax information together before you begin. But if you find you're missing something partway through it's fine to continue, you can always send it through later.

We can import most of your income directly from the ATO, including your payment summaries, bank interest, dividends, Centrelink, super, and private health insurance, so you won't need to send us these documents. 

IMPORTANT: If you have an Airbnb, a holiday rental, or a property you share with boarders or housemates, we need you to enter your income and expenses in the EasyBnbTax Ultimate Airbnb Spreadsheet (either the free or full version is fine). This isn't required if you have a regular long-term rental property with no shared or private use. If you don't already have a copy of the spreadsheet you can download the free version here. 

You can save your progress through the Express Tax form at the end of each section, and I highly recommend that you do so. If you accidentally refresh your webpage halfway through the form your data can be lost, so please save as you go! Take care to save your password as we’re not able to recover it for you.  **Please see warning note below!

You’ll find a comments box at the end of each section of the form, so if there’s anything you’re unsure about please feel free to write me a note and I’ll get back to you when I process your return..

Once you’ve submitted your form you’ll get a confirmation email right away. I’ll usually begin processing your return within one to two weeks. This occasionally stretches out a little longer in tax time, but I’ll touch base and let you know of any delays.

Your tax return will be processed by me personally. If I have any queries or can suggest any potential extra tax deductions I’ll be in touch via email and we can chat further.   Once your return is complete I’ll email it to you for review and signature, together with your invoice and final instructions to arrange for lodgment.

If it's your first time lodging with us, your TFN

If you're expecting a tax refund, your BSB and account number so the ATO can send it to you

If you have an Airbnb, a holiday rental, or a home you share with housemates, your EasyBnbTax Ultimate Airbnb Spreadsheet and your depreciation report if you have one.

If you have a regular long-term rental property  you don't need the spreadsheet. You will need your property agent's statement if applicable, your rental income & expenses, and your depreciation report if you have one.

If you worked as an employee, your tax deductions for the financial year. The Express Tax form will guide you through all the possible tax deductions you can claim.

If you have a business, your ABN and business income & expenses

If you sold any assets during the year, details of both the purchase and sale

If you have a spouse, a rough estimate of their taxable income

You don't need your employee payment summary, bank interest, Centrelink income, dividends or private health insurance statement, we'll download these directly from the ATO for you.
