I've never used a tax practitioner before and was thinking about using TaxTim for this return to ensure the WFH expenses are properly submitted. Or is it better to just do it yourself?

I honestly found the TaxTim questions to be slow and infuriating, when I can just look at my return and answer what I need.
 
Looked at my return now.
Numbers look completely wrong.

Checked irp5s. Also wrong. According to them I got double the bonus I actually got given
 
My stuff was submitted by TaxTim this morning. I got the IT34 confirming amount and I am being audited. Collating the PDFs and about to upload them.
 
Anyone know why there's no option on my ITR12, nor a family members, for claiming home-office space? It used to show the option, but now there's nothing.

Did you click yes on other expenses on the wizard by Standard Questions?

Lol what stuff-up.
So I found it, enabled it - added my home expenses and submitted.

They now re-calculated, IGNORING my huge medical expenses and Discovery payments I make myself and dropped my amount due by 90% lol. And I can't re-edit again as it was my second submission. I've lodged a dispute and asked for the medical expenses to be re-added.

Do you submit the docs directly to TaxTim if SARS requests supporting documents?

I used SARS directly. I did last year (you email it through and it stores in your profile on AWS S3). I gave them samples of some things like invoices (eFiling only allows uploading a single document at a time).

Now I wait.
 
Refund in my bank account this morning.

Being one of those people whose assessment was auto approved and submitted by SARS themselves, glad all is sorted now.

I respect them for sending that sms out on Tuesday to those of us who were affected as it provided me with a lot of peace of mind after the 48hrs of confusion before they confirmed the error.
 
Sigh, audited again, every year.

Nice payback this year though as have been paying tax throughout but paying ra.
 
SARS is F-Up.
Open SARS find I'm selected for Auto Assessment.
Next I add my medical stuff and submit.
Next thing I receive SMS and e-mail I'm on there audit list by SARS.
Please supply all relevant doc's. Not what is outstanding or what they seek. (Think medicine I paid in Cash)

They owe me big money. Over 65 and SARS does not even think in that direction.
These nut cases don't even think in any way Tax pool has shrunk now they want to milk what they can milk.
Sorry not from me. Do other audits somewhere else Kieswetter, you will not make budget this year.

All supporting documents submitted. Now the waiting game begins. Sunday 4/7/21

So where does one click to enable adding other deductions? I do not see this on the standard wizard.
