Hello DianeM1 

 

Thanks for your question, and welcome to the Community Forum!

 

The MYOB PLS software is designed to allow lodgement of returns that are created via SQL. For those returns that are not created via SQL (for example, AO Classic returns for Accountants Office users, and non-SQL returns for Accountants Enterprise users), the option to lodge electronically stopped once ELS stopped.

 

The option to convert to Accountants Enterprise, and add on the extra years (from 2005) is available. However, if you only have a few earlier returns to lodge via paper, the benefits may not be enough to justify the cost. The majority of practices find they only have a few returns they need to do via paper.
