Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place to post.
My father recently passed away and I'm trying to finalise all debts owing.
I have been through his files and see that he hasnt lodged a tax return since 2001.
I found all the payment summaries except for 2011-17. I want to lodge them all to fix up everything. My question is since he has never owned assets/shares of any kind, never had anything but a car worth $3k that he paid for with cash, no loans for anything or savings accounts etc, no property, ... is this something I could do myself on his behalf? I cant afford an accountant after all the funeral costs and bills etc. Is there any way that I would get in trouble for not using an accountant? All the returns will be basic, wage and tax nothing else, and from what I can see each year he's been entitled to a refund of at least $1k.
Any help would be great. Thank you!
