Summary	Details
Account name missing for client's bank account Area – IR issues affecting MYOB Practice tax Support ref – 00721529 Status – Expected behaviour	When your client has a refund, and you've refreshed their bank account into their tax return, your client's account name might be missing from the tax return. This happens when there's no account name stored within myIR. Previously, IR didn't require you to enter an account name. The bank account name doesn't need to be added if you are happy to just have the client's bank account number. (15 July 2021) Workaround If you want the account name to show, in myIR, delete the bank account and re-add the bank account with the account name. Then, in the tax return, Refresh bank details from myIR.
Missing data in tax statement, tax return and schedule report Area – Tax returns Support ref – 01585958 Status – Outstanding	The tax statement, tax return and schedule report are missing the client name, client code and IRD number.
Unable to create current year return after changing balance month Area – Tax returns Support ref – 00726134 Status – Outstanding	After changing balance month, the latest tax return year isn't available in the Add new window when the transitional financial year is less than 12 months. This issue only occurs if there's a prior year return for the previous balance month. For example, a 2022 period return isn't available after changing balance month from June to March when a 2021 return exists for the same client. (July 2021) Workaround In myIR, prepare and file the return.
Filing statistics not available Area – Compliance Support ref – 00630784 Status – Outstanding	MYOB Practice Tax doesn't yet have the filing statistics functionality. (April 2021) Workaround In myIR, check the EOT statistics dashboard and filing statistics. Learn more about the unfiled returns report on the IR website.
Nil assessments aren't being automatically reconciled Area – Reconciliation Support ref – 00668253 Status – Outstanding	When you've got nil assessments, you'll still receive assessments in Unreconciled transactions. (May 2021) Workaround You can manually reconcile the nil assessments.
Quick tax calculator not available Area – Quick tax calculator Support ref – 00722890 Status – Outstanding	You might still be using the quick tax calculator in desktop AE/AO tax as MYOB Practice Tax doesn't yet have a quick tax calculator. If you use AE/AO's quick tax calculator for 2022 and future years, the result might be incorrect, as the calculator hasn't been updated with the recent compliance changes. The calculator won't use the new top individual rate of 39% when income is over $180,000. (July 2021) Workaround For individuals with income over $180,000, you can use the MYOB tax calculator.
