Cannot access 2019-2020 EOFY to undo finalisation

[MMcCartney]

Hi.

I wasn't aware that I needed to enter a historical pay when I commenced using STP on 01.04.2020 and have only just realised this now that our accountant has finished our business tax. 

As a result the only pays sent to the ATO are for the final quarter of the 2019-2020 FY.

I need to access the 2019-2020 FY so I can adjust their pays to include July 2019-Marhc 2020 however I cannot see it. Can you please let me know how to access this as it is not visiable when I go into the EOFY section. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Melita

single touch payroll is set up to send YTD  figures to ATO

Sothe only issue you should have is if an employee resigned prior to the EOFY and the uptake of STP.

You can go into payroll reporting and check what you have sent to the ATO.

I am not sure if you can go back once you have rolled over a year either.

If you do have employees that have left prior to STP you need to do a dummy payroll to pick up the ytd figures for those employees for a payrun after STP started. ( surely someone would have been chasing their payment summary otherwise)

hopefully all is good -

I recommend that you reconcile your payroll and the end of each financial year going forward

Hope this is useful

Hi Lisa. 

The employees are both still with us. 

I can get into the STP reporting system however the 2019-2020 year is not listed as the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 years are in the drop down box. 

I need access the 2019-2020 year through this section to remove finalisation and resend the correct data to the ATO.

If I had been made aware of this when changing over  from the old system to STP I would have done it. I had been told that the July to March quarter payroll data would be sent to the ATO and then added to the STP that I complete for the April to June quarter. I had wanted to wait until the end of the FY to start STP but was encouaged to start then. My accountant has only just completed this and I can see through my.gov that only the STP figures are in the boys EOFY figures. 

How can I access that FY to ammend this.

Hi

i have just gone into my file and agree that I too can only see the finalisation of 20/21 and 21/22

so that is across the board

which made me look back and I was still sending an empdupe file at that stage to ato

in the payroll report centre go to reports and change the year to 19/20

there will be a last report for the year

there is a box with 3 dots in it click on it and select download report

that shows the final figures for the year

were you using myob for the entire year?

what are you looking at in myGov?

can you see that you have an empdupe file from after jun 2020

I have just checked and definitely submitted 2020 EOFY as empdupe

[MMcCartney]

What does empdupe mean?   In ATO it shows the wages paid through STP only. 

[LRBooks61]

An empdupe file is the one you uploaded to ato to report wages for payment summaries prior to stp

do you have over 20 employees?

what are you looking at in myGov?

Lisa

[MMcCartney]

There are only two employees. 

I am looking at the boys ATO income statements in my.gov. Both statements say tax ready but they only show the income for that STP quarter April 1st to June 30th 2020. 

[LRBooks61]

How are you seeing them?

I can't see anything - though I use mygovid

I think it may be a job for your accountant 

if you were using myob through that year it should have picked up ytd figures

if you only started using myob in that quarter then you should have put in opening balances

the accountant would be your best bet to do the amendment

you need to let your employees know too as they will need to amend their tax returns if already submitted
