ATO TAX Return Warning: Don’t Lodge Early, 142,000 Made This Mistake Last Year

Do you know that filing your tax return too early could cost you your refund or even trigger penalties?
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has issued a fresh ATO Tax Return Warning for the 2024–25 tax season. The advice is clear: do not rush to lodge your return on July 1. The ATO is urging taxpayers to wait until late July, when most pre-fill data is complete, to avoid common and costly mistakes.
