SMSFAR · SMSF annual returns

SMSF annual returns with members, auditor and evidence together.

Work the fund's income, regulatory items, member statements and auditor details in one record, with the audit-report questions and review evidence beside the return.

Registered Tax Agent use only. Confirm practice eligibility and lodgement authority before transmitting any return.

Step 1

Fund income and regulatory items

Income, deductions, tax calculation and regulatory questions follow the official SMSF annual return structure.

Step 2

Member statements

Member identity, contributions and balances are structured rows linked to the fund record.

Step 3

Auditor details and report status

SMSF auditor identity, audit dates and Part A/Part B qualification questions are captured with the return.

Step 4

Review to readiness

Reviewer sign-off, signatures and readiness controls complete the annual cycle. Lodgement-readiness controls, SBR transport configuration, and EVTE conformance status are visible in-product; external ATO approvals and enabled interactions are published with explicit boundaries in the Trust Center.
