Tax File Numbers

Have a staff member who has given their TFN, however MYOB is saying it is invalid.  Currently using AR2019.2.   Any help would be great, can't pay their super without a valid number.

    Hi CarenH-J 

     

    Tax file numbers are based on a check digit algorithm. I've found this external website The Australian Tax File Number helpful with explaining how that algorithm works and to check if it's valid. If it's not a valid tax file number, then I would recommend going back to the employee so they can provide you with that valid number. If it is a valid tax number and AccountRight is indicating that it is invalid we would love to investigate further for you.

    Do let us know how you get on and if you require further assistance.
