Oh I thought you could only claim part of the internet fees if it wasn't solely used for school use?.
As for the stationary, and books we dont buy it. It is all inclusive of the fees. Actually I will have to dig it out to see if it lists the cost of stationary etc independantely
I am unsure about it as well.. Dh did his tax the other day and was told he can't claim it this year?? I am almost certain thats wrong. He is going to query it..
Q30: Is there any need for apportionment of computer and internet costs if they are not used exclusively for educational purposes?
For the purposes of claiming the Education Tax Refund, no apportionment of costs is necessary
Nic - Do you claim the FTB for your kids, or is it in hubby's name. The ETR must be claimed by the person who receives the FTB, maybe that's why your hubby can't claim it?
Okay I have lodged it over the phone. I only ended up lodging for the 5mths with Adam, cause I really can't be stuffed with Optus as it may take them 6mths and they will probably charge me a fee to get the details.
Anyway I think I stuffed up our banking details with the phone lodgement. It sounded like she asked for account number so I did it and she repeated it back which was correct, then she asked for the financial institution account number and I am sitting there thinking well what did you ask for first then LOL. So I'll probably end up with a cheque rofl.
I found Kam's school fee's and stationary was listed seperately on his school fees yay, so I claimed that but Lachlan's didn't have it all listed seperately. Was just a lump sum
