Some tax questions

[AliBaby]

At risk of sounding really dumb.....

I am new to this whole tax thing with having a child and am a bit confused with payments and stuff in the income section.

I am doing etax online and in the income section it is asking me about partnered parenting payments...

I dont recall getting a statement as to how much I got in total this financial year and I was under the impression that it wasnt a taxable income anyway. (might be wrong) So if I am supposed to enter something there, I have no idea what to put.

If anyone has etax it is number 5 in the income section I am confused about.

We received family tax benefit B, the baby bonus and some rent assistance.

Any help appreciated

FTB payments is not a taxable income, Parenting Payment is. If you don't receive parenting payment and only receive FTB payments, then you do not have to declare that on your tax return.

:yeahthat:

We only got FTB which is not taxed. You could ring family assistance if your not sure and ask them??

Oh thank you lovely ladies!

Okay we didnt get parenting payment then. Just wasnt sure if that is another name for it.

Okay Another dumb question.....

Do I tick no to claiming the baby bonus seeming I ahve already claimed it in fortnightly payments?
