I am trying to submit an objection, but the form link in the ATO site does not work. Something to do with the Acrobat reader and other requirements.
Hi there @MarNew
There is no issue with the link to NAT 13471. Double clicking the form won't open it.
To complete the form, you must save it to your computer and ensure you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat installed.
To do so, you need to:
- right click on this link Objection form – for taxpayers (NAT 13471, PDF, 1.4MB)This link will download a file. and select Save target as to save it to your computer.
- Open your saved form with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and enable JavaScript if prompted before filling in the form.
- Once you've completed your form, save it using the Save form button at the end of the form.
Let us know how you go!

I agree with the previous user the form link does not work - perhaps this is an Apple issue - there is no option to download the form when you right click.
