How mnay days before ftb payment can i change my income estimate

[Pandora]

so that it will be in effect when the payment is processed?

Mine is due on 9/4. Is tuesday too late - do I have to change it today? I havent been able to update since DH started work becuase I need his pyslip to calulate what hi income will be for the rest of the financial year and I wont get a look at it until tonight.

it will take effect from the day you update it - so if you update today, it will update from today - all days prior will be paid on the lower estimtate. it's best to process it asap hun.

I know it is, but i dont know what to estimate?
Im going to ask that it go to zero for the rest of the financial year, can i do that now and work out the income when I have the info?

if you're using child care you'll need to estimate for that purpose as well. either that, or have them increase your estimate til it puts you at zero for ccb as well, and then sort it all out at tax time
