Hi Team
I am 60 years old and have retired and now have full access to my super.
At his time I have not converted my super to an account based pension and it is still sitting in an accumulation account.
My wife is 58 and plans to work for another 5 years or so. She earns approx $90K.
We live of her income and we don't need to draw down from my super at this time.
I would like to top up her super balance and at the same time try and reduce the tax paid on her salary.
My wife has carry forwards available from the previous 5 years.
These total $51,180
My question is a compliance one - Can I withdraw the $51,180 from my super and we then make a contribution to her super fund, lodge a notice of intent with her super fund and then claim a tax deduction when we prepare her tax return for 2026?
Thanks
Rob
