HandiTax Software Installation Instructions

As your client has not been set up in the Client Details area of HandiTax2017, you will need to do this before you can complete the 2017 income tax return.

From the access panel at the top of screen, select ‘Client’ and ‘New’ from the drop down menu that appears. Then a new ‘Client Details’ screen will appear ready for you to enter the new record containing the information for your client. Notice at the bottom of this screen you will see helpful tips as you enter the following information:

Once you have entered the above information you should be able to ‘Save’ and ‘Close’.

Then the ‘Client’s Tax Form Details’ window should open. If not, from the list on the left of screen, choose HandiTax 2017. You can accept all the information on this screen as a default (i.e. no need to enter data or information on this screen). Just check the basic information including Surname, Given Name, Tax File Number, Form Type I and Resident (ticked). Then save and close.

Then you are ready to prepare the tax return for your client once you have completed the necessary work papers that show what income is assessable and what expenditure is deductible.
