SARS E-Filing 2020/21

Trying to pull an updated statement of account, throws me a red error message each time. Chrome

EDIT: Gave it to me on EDGE Browser. Still not showing me a refund date - refund just sitting there and chilling

Got it all ready yesterday and submitted this morning. A few minutes later got asked to upload supporting docs as I always claim medical expenses related to a disability. Now to wait and see how long before my refund. Original assessment was 11K returned, after disability claim was added new assessment was 37K so a nice amount. Will as always just but it aside for future medical expenses. FYI my out of pocket expenses for the child with the medical condition in question was just over 40K for the period in question so I got most of that back which is awesome.
 
SARS definitely has something against me. Each year I get selected for verification.
Submitted on Sat and still no refund. They always take forever to refund me.

Nah, happens every year to me as well. That said it's probably due to my business travel claims. Submitted my return on Tuesday.

Filed by Sars through the estimated assessment? I assume this is different to an auto assessment.

Auto assessment is where SARS has collated the medical aid, RA, interest and IRP5 received from the service providers. Estimated is where SARS has estimated your income tax based on information they have received.
 
So, are you guys using SARS's browser or app. I hope the migration is ready by the time tax season opens properly or at least by close of season.

@Malvolio is referring to some us (incl me), where SARS filed our assessment in error, before we were able to view and approve it. Status for those of us who experienced this is "Estimate filed by SARS".

SARS issues stuff, they don't file - it's the taxpayers job to file/submit.
 
Hate it when I'm right.

Knew the payroll company fekked something up during the handover mid-year, there was no way SARS would owe me 4 months salary without me being aware of it.

Chrome worked fine for me.

Chrome not allowing me to change RA amount which is inaccurate as per my statements. Going to try sars browser now.

p.s. sars browser also doesn't allow edit. :-( Lwazi the assistant says "An unexpected error has occured. We apologise for the inconvenience! (80067374)"

So ... as I was told I need to be audited for Tax Returns 2020 ( yet I got refund last year) and also this one Tax Returns 2021.

I submitted all my docs for ( 2020 and 2021 as per case numbers respectively) yesterday 30 Jun 21
I called the call center today to verify if all docs were received --- confirmed they received it
Then I asked why am I being audited for 2020 Returns -- yet I got the refund last year :
>>> Answer was -- SARS can audit you as from 5 years back regardless if you got refund in those years or not

And then they are busy auditing 2020 Returns right now

And for current 2021 Returns -- it will take 21 days -- that's when I will know if my R20k+ refund will be affected on it.

On Top of that I cant login using normal PC browser ( Chrome / FF / Edge / Safari )
-- All they say is -- they dont see anything wrong or error on their side :(

Mobile iOS App I can login -- nice and sweet

So as from now on -- I wont stress with this SARS eFiling 2021 thing -- I will chill and see in August or until they come back to me....
But I will just be lurking here to take pointers and lessons :)
