Tax Return Amendments Adelaide | Registered Tax Agents
Think your last return missed something? We review the years still open, find the deductions that were never claimed, and lodge the amendment. Amendments start from $150, quoted before we begin.
Think You Missed Something on Your Tax Return?
Do you know how many of your past returns are still open to amendment?
Most people who suspect a return was wrong never do anything about it, because they assume the year is closed. It usually is not. An individual has two years from the day after the notice of assessment, and a sole trader has four years for 2024-25 onwards. That means two or three years are open right now for most people. The returns worth reviewing are the ones prepared in a hurry, prepared by someone who did not ask about your occupation, or prepared before a change in your circumstances was properly explained.
The Kalculators reviews prior year returns from three physical offices across metropolitan Adelaide. Blair Athol covers the inner north, Salisbury the northern suburbs, and Morphett Vale the south. We work through every year still inside its amendment window, check the occupation deductions the original preparer never asked about, test whether your residency or visa position was applied correctly, and lodge the amendment where there is a legitimate claim. Where the window has closed we prepare an objection instead. If the review finds nothing worth amending we tell you that, because an amendment that does not change the outcome is not worth paying for. Amendments start from $150.
What Our Tax Return Review Service Includes
Our review and amendment service is delivered from our Adelaide offices in person at Blair Athol, Salisbury or Morphett Vale, and works just as well remotely. Every review is carried out by a registered tax agent.
Prior Year Review
We review every year still inside its amendment window against your occupation, your income sources and the year you actually had, not against the return that was lodged. Most of what gets missed was never asked about in the first place.
Amendment Lodgement
Where the review finds a legitimate claim we prepare and lodge the amendment, and deal with the ATO queries that come back. More than one amendment can be lodged within the same review period if more is found later.
Missed Occupation Deductions
Nurses, teachers, tradespeople and lawyers all have occupation claims a generic preparer will never raise, because they do not work from an ATO occupation guide. These are the most common source of an amendment that is genuinely worth lodging.
Working Holiday Amendments
Working holiday makers from eight countries can be taxed at resident rates rather than working holiday rates, which restores the $18,200 tax-free threshold. Where that was missed, earlier years can be amended and the difference is often worth thousands.
Objections Out of Time
Past the amendment window an objection is still possible, and extensions exist in some circumstances. We assess whether it is worth lodging before you spend anything on it.
Returns Prepared Elsewhere
You do not have to become a client to have a return reviewed. Bring the notice of assessment from whoever prepared it, and we will tell you whether it holds up.

How Long Do You Have to Amend a Tax Return?
The amendment window runs from the day after your notice of assessment is sent, not from the day you lodged. That is the detail that decides whether a year is still open to you.
An individual generally has two years. A sole trader has two years for the 2023-24 income year and earlier, and four years from 2024-25 onwards. If a notice of assessment was sent on 3 November 2026, the two-year window runs to 4 November 2028. More than one amendment can be lodged within the same review period, so finding something later does not close the door on finding something else.
Past the window, an objection is usually the remaining option, and extensions exist in some circumstances. Source: ATO, Amend your tax return and Time limits on amendments, checked 11 September 2026.
Amendment Situations We Handle in Adelaide
Six situations account for most amendments worth lodging, and each carries a condition the quick review services skip. Each is handled by the same registered tax agents.
The Two-Year Individual Limit
Two years from the day after your notice of assessment was sent. For most people that means two or three separate income years are open right now, and each has to be reviewed on its own facts rather than assumed to match the others.
Sole Traders Get Four Years
Sole traders have two years for the 2023-24 income year and earlier, and four years from 2024-25 onwards. The longer window is recent enough that plenty of sole traders still assume a year has closed when it is in fact still open to them.
Occupation Deductions Never Claimed
The most common finding is a claim the original preparer never asked about, because they did not work from an occupation guide. A nurse's fob watch, a teacher's excursion costs, a tradesperson's tools between sites.
Working Holiday NDA Claims
Working holiday makers from Chile, Finland, Germany, Israel, Japan, Norway, Turkey or the United Kingdom who were Australian residents for tax purposes should have been taxed at resident rates. Where they were not, the year can be amended.
Out of Time? Lodge an Objection
When the amendment window has closed an objection is the remaining path, and extensions to the amendment period exist in some circumstances. We assess whether one is worth lodging, and say so honestly, before you commit anything to it.
More Than One Amendment
You can lodge more than one amendment within the same review period. Finding one missed claim does not use up the year, so a second review later is still possible if your circumstances turn out to be more complex.
