Supplier ABN does not appear in the Taxable Payment Annual Report Preview

Legacy KB ID: 4883

Question

Why don’t I see the Supplier ABN in the Taxable Payments Annual Report Preview screen?

Answer

This is by design.  The preview screen will show you the amounts being reported to the ATO.  Other detail like the ABN and Supplier address will appear on the electronic file to be sent to the ATO.

When you click on Export, an electronic file is created and has the default name or Tax Payments and will be saved to the default directory:  C:\Program Data\Intuit\ReckonAccounts 20xx\> Edition 20xx <\>filename<\Export Files\Tax Payment Reports\.  You can name and save this file anywhere you like – like the Desktop for instance. 

You can view the electronic file:

1.    Right-click the file and select Open With;

2.    Select Notepad;

3.    Before each string of data (0000001534500000001535000…..) will the Supplier information – name, address and ABN number.
