I have just returned from living in the USA for since 2007. I am trying to complete non lodgment online for all my years out of Australia but for 2007-08 and 2008-09 the following message comes up. Non-lodgment advice cannot be made for the following year/s: 2007-08 PAYG withholding credit exists for this financial year. 2008-09 PAYG withholding credit exists for this financial year. Does anybody know exactly what this means? Can I lodge these retrospectively given they are 16 and 17 years old? Is it possible to lodge old returns like this online. Any help and guidance is appreciated.

It means tax has been withheld from income. Too old to lodge online. Either see a tax agent or a paper return. Contact ATO to see what information they have on the income.
