CMN.ATO.GEN.400011 - Field incorrect format. Exceeds maximum digits or decimals and/or contains illegal characters or does not have the sign as the first character in a signed field.


Kindly check the following:

a. Some monetary field has a negative value (this is not allowed by ATO)

b. Values that has  0.00 or some very large number.

c. Has some text/character in it.

d. Name for bank account may be too long.

Please review all cells carefully.

If the issue still persists, please send a printscreen of the issue and copy of the form through support@lodgeit.net.au, so we can better assist.


Note: Negative amunt also affects the validation, ie 

 "18 Other deductions". No item can contain negative amount. This is mandatory for ATO, so we cannot avoid it. 

In this case, the only option to reconcile is to tag account via "Financials > Accounts" with "Do not import to tax return". Learn more
