Cant finalise payment summaries for last FY , if click 'lodge with ATO' there is message saying ' unable to lodge' a pay event with status 'Sucessful' cannot be lodged.

Hi james180,

Thanks for posting in the Community!

You will not be required to provide your employees with payment summaries for any information you have reported through STP. Your employees will see information reported through STP via their myGov account. This information will be called an employment income statement.

You'll create and lodge a Finalisation Event to complete your end-of-year processing and advise the ATO you have finished reporting wages for the employees in the financial year.

Here's how to check if a finalisation event has been processed:

1. On Employees tab, select Reports.
2. Select Single Touch Payroll.
3. Select Create Update Event.
4. Select the relevant Financial Year and Pay Schedule then select Create.

For your reference, you can also check on this article: I have been reporting STP during the financial year. Do I have to generate payment summaries?
