BG I have a couple of questions regarding this hopefully you can help me out

Another question I owe $144 to centrelink (not for advances it classes as owing the commonwealth so i cant apply for advances) we said yes on the e-tax program for DHs tax to pay any debt of my owing, a) does that include this debt? and b) do i still get some money due to this?

Also Im trying to budget and have no idea how much centrelink even pay around tax time, does it depend on DH's ATI? is there some way of finding out before hand how much i will get?

i know my questions sound really money hungry lol but i have a lot of bills to pay!
depends on what sort of debt the money is owed for. tax returns are only used to repay ftb reco debts (either from this year or previous years) - any other debts you'd have to pay manually

if you accurately estimated or overestimated, you would get approx 711 per child and, if you qualify for ftba, another 338 (i think). the ftba supplements (711 per kidlet) reduce once you get over a certain income though so this is an estimate (the limit is around 102k from memory for one child - and then supplements reduce)
