    Centrelink and tax question

    hello, was wondering if anyone can help me with a quick q
    we're going to see our accountant soon to do our taxes. i've been getting the FTB and parenting payment (i think) since ds was born. do i need to take some sort of evidence - like a group certificate sort of thing, i guess- to the accountant to show how much ive been paid from these payments or how does it work?

    Centrelink should've sent you a payment summary to take with you.
    My centrelink details were already in the system though. Yours should be too.
    I would take the payment summary jic.

    If you were getting paretning payment partnered you will have recieved a summary.
    If just FTB you won't.
    If you don't have the information, as bjrose said, it will all be in the system

    ok, i haven't received any summary- so maybe i haven't been getting the parenting payment? i know when i check my account that 2 seperate payments go in.
    when you say it should be in the system- does that mean my accountant would be able to access it?
    thanks ladies

    ok, i've just checked my account and it says
    FTB and
    FTA
    does this mean that the accountant will be able to access this info or do i have to get it from somewhere before i go to see him?

    Rainy if it's only FTB part A and FTB part B, then it's tax free and you don't have to worry about it. That's what comes in my account as well.
