Payments from Māori Authorities

[Nor]

Does anyone else have the problem of spurious appearances of 'Payments from Māori Authorities' appearing on their ird sources of income? Which cannot be deleted because it then asks "when did you last receive a payment form a Māori Authority" and Never is not an option. It appears to me to be associated with receiving 'Dividends treated as interest' ie get the latter and the former crops up. It seems to me to be a bug in the ird system, not the fault of the payor of the Dividend treated As Interest. PS Inspite of going to the trouble of using macrons I have no māori blood or receipts. Very annoying, been going on for years.

THanks for that. I have not that I know of, but will keep my eyes peeled next time I look at doing my IR3.

Never popped up on my IR3 either. I thought (without looking) that was one of the qualifying check boxes early in the form-with the ability to check yes or no?

Have seen this for other online fields as well for IR3 filers - at Tax Agency level.

It extends to other areas as well - Partnership ceased income etc etc

The most annoying is the default which for business income field automatically brings up Residentiial Rentals Interest deduction - total interest & interest claim fields
