IETC part year calculations up until entitlement for Best Start payments commences
Why will the IR3 Tax return not let you claim the IETC for the number of months a client is entitled to, before Best Start payments start. It will calculate the IETC for the 9 months in the return but as soon as the Working for Families schedule is added with the Best Start Payments boxed ticked it changes the calculation to NIL.
You would think that the IETC calculation would remain or could be manually over-ridden so all calculated amounts would show on the tax summary for the client. This could be flagged when an audit of the tax return is done to prompt the preparer to check.
