Ok so 2018 seems to went ok on e-filing. My documents corresponds with what they obtained no supporting documents added.
I file and get a notice they owe me refundable X-amount, so I assume everything is ok by the looks of it.

Last year:
Last year I file with wrong medical claim, realise it, resubmit, got notices I did not understand, created a new form but did not submitted it, rather I went and visit the branch. They cleared everything and told me all ok, just have to wait.
So after a week or so I got a refund, no further correspondence, all ok.

Now I see theres a red reminder about last year to submit that entry I created(3rd) , so I assume this must have created a admin poef they yet to resolve by just deleting it as I then requested...

Ok I accidently figured out/stumbled apon the selution for previous 2017 year sorted at branch.

I decided to open up the red warning from last year. It ask me to file that return again. So I have the 3rd attempt still just "saved" status. I then filed that one=The result is I cannot, its a duplicate of the previous one. I then found the button "Visited Branch" and entred that one.....Good Lawrd everything cleared, no warning, nothing everything now good for 2017 (and 2018).

Yay. Selected for audit or verification. Now they have issues with my 2014 and 2015 returns that was 100% fine in December 2017. What.The.Hell.

And yes, I'm owed a small amount by them.

I just got mine now, apparently I owe 18 cents...

This is only my second year of employment so I don't quite understand everything yet, but how can I owe 18 cents this year and was paid out nearly R5K last year?

You probably did not work a full year in 2017? Hence the refund

Not always. They now want a letter from me, but don't say which. The best solution the letter can come up with is to submit everything again, including my IRP5, IT3's, ID, proof of residence, etc.

Have you submitted those docs again yet? Just be wary of submitting the exact same docs. I did this last year - submitted docs, got an email I owe something else so all I did was submit the same stuff. Turned out they wanted 3 months bank statements and there was no way I could do it electronically this time so I had to visit a branch.

I haven't submitted anything yet. I'm waiting for the Help me Efile dude to call me to tell me what I must submit. I'm not submitting everything again, I did just that in December when I got everything in order.
