The tax return form of Australia is not editable in pdf as was possible in Form 1040 of US Returns. The converted word document is having formatting issues. Can you please send me an editable version of the return. I have attached the PDF version for your reference. I have inserted comments wherever was not able to fill the form. Revert if you have any queries. The checklist for trust has not been attached as the points mentioned were not relevant for the given case.
