AU Tax - Pre-filling Children's Private Health Insurance
Why does Xero not pre-fill the Private Health Insurance information of someone who is on their family's PHI?
i.e. a young adult/teenager who is still on their parents health insurance. (Code F on the tax return).
I am having to manually enter the information every time I create a return for one, which is frustrating given that the information is already on their ATO pre-fill report, and it prefills fine for their parents.
Hi Emily! We really appreciate your feedback on this. At this moment, the information we pull is directly from the ATO exclusively for one sole return, and so won't automatically fill into the young adult/teenagers return as you've found.
We've reviewed your idea and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!
We'll keep an eye on any traction this gets in the community and will keep you updated if there are any updates. Thanks.

A lot of people underestimate how mentally draining repetitive admin issues can become, especially when you’re already juggling deadlines and tax season pressure. I’ve seen accountants talk more openly lately about burnout and stress management because those small frustrations stack up over time. One of my cousins working in finance actually started speaking with someone through https://lotuspsychiatryandwellness.com/psychiatrist-in-parkland-fl/ after months of work anxiety and sleep disruption, and he said it helped him recognize how much constant low-level stress was affecting him without realizing it.

Hi Ben,
I'm asking for your system to pull the PHI information for the young adult from *their* ATO prefill into *their* return.
There's no other return or party involved here so I don't know what your response means.
