Warning messages
If your EI shows a warning, you can still file your return. If you want to correct the information before you file, you can.
The warnings are:
- IRD number provided does not exist
- ND or WT tax code is expected when a zero IRD is used
- KiwiSaver contributions / deductions are not expected for a non-individual
- ESCT, child support, student loan, SLCIR or SLBOR deductions are not expected for a non-individual
- WT or STC tax code is expected for non-individuals
- Student loan deductions are not expected for this employee.
Warning messages may change, and we may add more to this list.
Your employee details (ED) show different warning messages.

If your EI shows a warning, you'll need to confirm that you've read and understood the warning before you file your return.
