Fedix and ATO online services: what is read, how often, and what to set up

Fedix reads from ATO online services for the practice: the client list, lodgment status and due dates, ATO documents such as notices and statements, and a client's ATO account data, which MyLedger can import into the ledger. It reads and reports; Practice Manager and MyLedger do not lodge.

What syncs

  • Practice Manager: the practice's ATO client list and client relationships, each client's lodgment list with due dates and status (refreshed on a daily schedule), and ATO-sourced documents kept with each client.
  • Practice Manager: client details kept in step with the ATO on a schedule, with missing TFNs and ABNs filled in on client records from ATO data.
  • MyLedger: a client's ATO account data retrieved without logging in to the ATO portal, and ATO transactions previewed and imported into the ledger.
  • FediPilot: reads a client's ATO prefill through Fedix, syncs it and shows the status.

Direction

Inbound. Fedix reads this data from ATO online services. This page describes no step that sends data to the ATO.

What the practice sets up

  • Set up the practice's connection to ATO online services in Practice Manager, test it, and add the practice's tax agent numbers.
  • Read the practice's ATO client list and import the clients; for a prefill, FediPilot can add a client to the practice's agent list if needed.
  • Import the ATO client list, then let the daily refresh keep lodgment status current; a run can also be started on demand.

Limits

  • ATO data is retrieved through Fedix's DSP integration. This is not a claim that Fedix is certified or endorsed by the ATO.
  • Practice Manager and MyLedger do not lodge. Nothing is lodged without your approval.
  • This page states no ATO rule or position; for those, read the ATO's own guidance.
