Great service, so much easier than those paper forms, or paying ridiculous prices for someone else to fill our paper forms! Give it a try and realise how easy tax is!
Filling out your tax return usually is a burden at the best of times. By the time you unwrap the Tax Pack decipher all the rigmarole and then do another copy for yourself, four hours of more has elapsed. Down load the E-tax from the ATO site and follow the prompts. I have been using E-tax for the last six years and find it a piece of cake. E-tax takes you through the whole process from personal details to a refund (hopefully), logging online and printing out a copy for your records. If you are unsure of an entry or what you can claim, click on the blue link and read it through. No more letters or phone calls to the tax department, all you need is at the click of a button. The first time you use E-tax may take a little longer whilst setting up your details but ensuing years use the roll over feature and all you personal details are inserted. If your situation is straight forward, no shares no business no complicated issues, it should take you no longer than a couple of hours. The best thing since sliced bread.
The good All you information at the click of a button.
The Bad Two hours of your time.

This is my first time using WoMow. I discovered the site when searching for reviews on tax accountants.
My thanks to those who have taken the time to write these reviews, they have led me down some very interesting new pathways in my search for a good tax return service.
I would agree that if our tax situation is not complicated, and we are able to accurately determine all permissible deductions, then the free ATO software would be the way to go. However, I’m not so sure that by using the E-tax program we will discover tax returns can be easy.
The complexity of tax laws is probably only equalled by the complexity of understanding the opposite sex: both containing exceedingly dangerous pitfalls.
My concern with going it alone is that many of us, particularly those with complicated tax situations, might miss some possible deductions, and end up paying too much tax. Even worse we might make an error that comes back to bite us in the future.
Sometimes our well intentioned efforts to save money may actually end up costing us far more than we might have saved. That's why I'm currently leaning in the direction of trying a supported tax return service such as Etax or Online Tax Australia.
A basic fee of around $70 seems a small price to pay for advice and guidance while completing my tax return – excellent to be able to ask questions, far better for me than Help Guides and Pop-ups - and also having my tax return checked by a qualified accountant before its submitted.
If I do try one of the paid online services, I will of course make sure I return and write a review.
