Explanation
The Australian Tax Office (ATO) will not accept Year-to-Date (YTD) allowance amounts that are negative, i.e., less than $0. If you have not entered this data correctly, the platform will display the above warning when you go to submit a Single Touch Payroll (STP) lodgement.
Solution
You will need to first unlock the pay run so you can edit the employee information. To read further information on this feature, you can refer to the following article. You will then need to update your employees' YTD allowance data, save the changes, then finalise the pay run again. You may need to refresh your pay event or update event data for these changes to display on your screen.
