I completed my tax return and it estimated an amount I would get a refund on.
On my account it displays a CR amount and the same in balance. This is a credit which means it's a return. However it is stating 'The account has pending transactions that may affect the final balance' and when I click on it is says I have to pay that amount. I am confused as it says its a credit not a debit amount.
Hi @mamtafar
We don't have access to your account info here, you'll have to call through to our individuals team for an update.
HI @kimhall
'The account has pending transactions that may affect the final balance' means the ATO is still processing matters related to your account.
You need to let that process finish.
