This is not tax advice. The tax line multiplies your fees by your marginal rate and is an estimate only. Deductions apply only to costs you paid, weren't reimbursed for, and that relate to your current employment; allowances are generally taxable income. See the ATO self-education rules and a registered tax agent.
