I amended my tax return recently as I had forgotten to include bank interest in my original tax return. The outcome of that amendment was a $0.25 refund. However, this amount was not paid into my bank account; it has appeared as a credit balance on my statement of accounts instead. Why has this happened, and how can I get the refund paid into my bank account?

Hi @J50suff If you can see a credit on your account, it doesn't necessarily mean the amendment has finished processing. When did you lodge it? Electronic amendments can take up to 30 calendar days, whereas paper can take 50 business days.
