Filing returns and adding attachments

Many returns are filed in myIR with invoices or financial statements attached as ‘correspondence’.

Return processing can be improved if the right attachment options are used when filing the return.

For example, when filing a GST return:

• use the ‘Add receipts’ option when attaching tax invoices
• use the ‘Add correspondence’ option for a more detailed explanation, query or request that requires our officer to review.

When filing an income tax return:

• at the ‘Specific situations’ step, tick the box ‘This return will include attachments’
• before the ‘Review' step, you have the option to add financial statements or correspondence.

If you do not choose this option when you file the return, you can select it when you amend the return.
