Where do I find the 'download' option for a TPAR report?

Hi Stephanieluck,

Thanks for posting in the Community!

You'll have to select the Export to Excel or PDF option to be able to download the TPAR report. Here's how:

1. Click on the Reports tab.
2. Search Taxable Payments Annual Report.
3. Set the correct report period and transaction date.
4. Click on Run report.
5. Locate the Export icon next to Print option.
6. Select Export to Excel or Export to PDF.
7. From your downloads section you can view and open the report.

Drop by again in the Community if you have other questions about reports in QBO.

The ATO does not support either PDF or Excel reports when submitting through the ATO file transfer lodgment portal. 

You can't lodge scanned images or forms, screen prints, spreadsheets or word processing files (for example, .pdf, .doc, .xls, .jpg, .tif) through file transfer.

How do you get a compliant export report out of Quickbooks for TPAR lodgment

Hi Stephanie,

As o f the moment the TPAR report in QuickBooks Online is for your reference only. E-file format is unavailable in the current features offer. You will have to download the TPAR in QBO and in your downloads change the file type that is supported in ATO before saving it. Then, lodge the TPAR directly to the ATO using the supported file format.

I can understand how important the need to be able to get e-file format for TPAR. I've lodge a product feedback about the option to download supported file and let our engineers know. 

If you need help exporting and downloading the TPAR report in QBO, I recommend contacting our Customer Care Team. That way, one of our care agents can help you how to export the report.

Send a reply below if you need more help with QBO. 

The efile for TPAR was working last month as I download and lodged the efile for a client on 22/7/24.  Are the techs working on fixing this issue as I have several more to do and do not intend to physically type each one in the format required by the portal.  A quick and timely reponse for all of us would be appreciated

Hi Sheelagh,

Thanks for joining the thread!

There is an ongoing Product Investigation INV-109753 about No option to download TPAR in QuickBooks Online and our engineers have made aware of this behavior.

I recommend contacting our Customer Care Team. That way, they can add your QBO file to the affected list so that you can get notification via email once a fix has been deployed.

Post again in the Community if you have other QBO concerns.
