Should the cost of upgrading my laptop be classed as a cost of managing tax affairs if my current laptop is unable to access ATO Online Services?
I have just tried to access my ATO account however I am unable to as my browser is no longer supported/doesn't meet the minimum requirement. I have no desire to upgrade my laptop as it meets all my current needs and is very rarely used.
I will obviously need to lodge my tax return as well as assist my husband with lodging his tax return and his BAS's.
Just wondering how the ATO suggests I complete my obligations when I can no longer access this myself.
The way I see it is I'm going to have to purchase a new laptop purely for the reason of completing our taxation obligations or pay a tax agent to complete for us which of course that expense will be tax deductible.
I have recently left my job as an accountant so more than capable of completing myself and cannot justify the price of paying someone else.
A basic return at my old firm will cost $290 each however there would then be additional costs for 3 rental properties plus 4 BAS's each year at a minimum of $220 each.
