Amend spouse's income in 2024 tax return
I am trying to amend a 2024 return and i cannot amend the spouse income in the amended return. It is locked with the original taxable income for the spouse which is incorrect.

Hi FAJ!
Unfortunately, it is currently a software limitation that changes to the spouse details section of the return can't be amended (as you can see, all the fields are greyed out)
The workaround we have for this situation - is to actually:
- delete the amendment
- go back into the original return, change the status of it from 'Lodged' to 'In Progress'
- make the relevant changes to the spouse details section here, within the original tax return
Once that has been done, validate the return again, complete & mark it as lodged manually. You would then need to re-create the amendment.
The changes to the spouse details would then flow into the amended return, and it can be lodged as normal.Thanks,
Amy
