They will not appear if you open this page in a different browser, a different device, or after using "Clear browsing data" or a similar reset. Tax Insights cannot see or recover this data under any circumstances unless you export it and send us a copy.

Export a backup regularly, especially before updating your browser, changing devices, or clearing site data.
Prefer a simple printable sheet instead? Download the fillable PDF version and fill it in by hand or on your computer. No browser storage involved, and nothing to export or back up.
Save your typical week, then use it to pre-fill draft days for a month at a time. Drafts still need to be reviewed and confirmed as actual days.
The fixed rate method needs at least one supporting record for the expenses it covers.
Exporting does not lodge a claim and does not confirm deductibility. Your tax agent should review eligibility, the calculation method and supporting records. The CSV export includes both draft and confirmed rows. Filter to the confirmed column before relying on any total.
Important: This tool supports record keeping only. It does not determine whether you are entitled to a deduction. The ATO requires a record of actual hours worked from home for the entire income year under the fixed-rate method. The published ATO home-office calculator currently covers income years through 2025-26. Keep supporting records generally for at least five years after lodging the relevant return, or longer where required. Tax Insights will review all information before preparing your tax return.
