Tax Australia: SBR.GEN.AUTH.005 Misalignment of identifying information

This error occurs when the Tax Agent Number embedded in the return does not match the Tax Agent Number Lodging the return.

To resolve this complete the following:

The tax Agent number is recorded inside the return when the return is created and it is a non editable field.

As long as the Tax Agent number at the time of the creation of the return was current this will not happen.

There are 2 options to fix this issue:

Option 1: Fix through the Integrity check for the return, check the Practice Management data and the return data for the tax agent number. Tick the select box if the system shows a different number for Practice Management Data and Different Number for Tax Return Data. Once they match the return should lodge successfully.

Option 2: If you are still unable to lodge the return, you will need to delete the return and recreate it, and by that, it will pick up the correct Tax Agent Number.
