TaxCalc - Grrrr

TaxCalc - Grrrr

Didn't find your answer?

Hi

My first outing on TaxCalc was a DI-SAST-ER (sorry, hooked on Strictly).

I thought I'd submitted my client's 2009-10 return but seems I somehow managed to do his 2010-11.  So now I've got to do an amended 2010-11 but TaxCalc won't let me.

So, I've nearly completed his 20010-11 but need an employer PAYE ref first.  Can I just use the default one they tell you about??  But I got to the end of it (before I got the error message about the PAYE ref) but there wasn't an option to send in an amended SA100.  Is this not an option on TaxCalc?

The 2009-10 return I had to do on the HMRC website because TaxCalc kept making it a 2010-11 despite me putting in a date at the beginning of 6 April 2009 as the date on the front of the tax return.

Any ideas on the above?

One last query - sorry this is down to my ignorance - when I did the online version it asked if I was signing for the taxpayer - I ignored that bit but it still had my agent details at the last page because I was doing it through my agent online registered account.  Did I do right?

thanks

Eve

Is this posting for real?

Are you being serious?

What do you mean when you say 'despite me putting in a date at the beginning of 6 April 2009 as the date on the front of the tax return.' There's nowhere to enter the tax return year on TaxCalc! TaxCalc is a separate program for each tax year so you'll need the 2009/10 version to file a 2009/10 return & the 2010/11 version to file a 2010/11 return.

It's quite simple to file amended returns with TaxCalc.

Don't understand your problem about 'where does tax when I did the online version it asked if I was signing for the taxpayer'???

Where a Employers PAYE reference is missing then TaxCalc advises on the check & finish validation screen to enter '000/N'

I'm sticking with TaxCalc...its fab.

Thanks for your reply.  I did not know that TaxCalc only worked for the year you purchased the software!!  Maybe that point escaped me.  Here's a screenprint of the page that asked for the date:

I can see now where I've gone wrong, but it wasn't obvious to me before.  I've purchased the 2011 version but I assumed that was just the latest update as opposed to being the year it will work for.

thanks

Agree with Kevin

If you want to file a 2010 return you need a 2010 version of the software. The 2011 one will only do personal tax returns for 2011

When you go to file and you complete your filing credentials there is a box to tick for an amended return

Hi

Yes it all makes sense now.  I bought the software in June and only just used it so guess I just forgot about things.  I'll do the 09-10 one direct with HMRC website via the online services.

thanks to you both for pointing this out to me.

@eve

TaxCalc will often give you the previous years SA software as a goodwill gesture, but you need to ask for it.
