Tax tax tax gah and family $$

[peanutter]

yup, I'm using etax.

I just worry sometimes that the prefilling stuff might not be accurate, and I tend to do all my calculations by hand too, and double check the amounts from my budgeting spreadsheets and other docs.

They all seem to be correct so far - including our HECS amounts.

From what I've been able to find out (which matches what you guys are saying, which is great, thanks!) FTBA & FTBB & C/C & BB are all separate.

My PPL is included in my group certificate, which is all good.

And the medicare stuff seems right.

And boo to DH not being included as a dependent spouse ... oh well.

Ok. I'm going to let it sit for a few days, incase anything else occurs to us that we've missed.

And then I'll send it off!

Maybe I can keep doing these for a few more years

when are you a dependent spouse?

[briggsy's girl]

there is an income limit around 19k but you can't have been entitled to ANY FTB part B at all

ETA - so basically a low income spouse when you have no kids OR your income is over 150k so you get no ftbb anyway

oh ok thanks for that BG.
