AO HELP Repayment Calculation Incorrect?
Hello, Having an issue in AO where I'm not convinced the HELP repayment is being calculated correct. Screenshot attached of the estimate however they have a HELP debt plus $28k of exempt fringe benefits. Shouldn't the adjusted taxable income for the HELP repayment be $87k and therefore a HELP repayment should be included?Solved72Views0likes3CommentsMYOB AO running slow on workstations in local lan
Hi all I am new to this forum and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have a feeling this issue is related to the network and I have added the log below. Basically AO runs fine on the server but all workstations take over a minute to open a tax return or even open AO. I have had MYOB check all the registry settings and everything is pointed correctly but even they are stumped. I am particularly perplexed by the "unexpected network error" message. I am guessing it is some stupid setting somewhere so please let me know.

Hi there I am using AO Tax 2025 for the first time to do a tax return for an individual client for the 2024 - 2025 FY (financial year). Unfortunately, when I come to the Medicare section, none of the buttons work in that section. So for example if I click on the Y button which is for the number of dependent children or student, the window to type in those information does not come up. It just stays in the Medicare screen. The same outcome is happening under M2 when clicking on the E button. Because I cannot get the M2 E window to pop up (or M1 - E) this prevents me from entering any details associated with the tax payer's spouse. Even under the Spouse Details section, I cannot bring up the Spouse details screen when clicking on the K button. I need help with these 3 issues please.Solved155Views0likes1CommentGreat News!
