Notes:
- In the Financial Information Section, franking account must be positive or zero. Not negative.
- Dividend franking credits are not usually reflected in accounting income so I think it's reasonable to expect a difference between tax and accounting income.
- If a new company, there will be no franking account balance until tax is paid.
- Ensure that you have followed the instructions for importing the tax account into the Income Tax Validator from the ATO Portal web page.
- Make sure the date range covers the tax paid.
- Tax instalments can be imported from the Integrated Account while the balance of tax can be imported from the Income Tax Account.
- Be sure to select the right type of transaction to import to your Franking Account.
Manual Transactions can be added to the Franking Account where necessary
