  • completing the self-employed income section on Form 11 (including information for farmers)
  • completing the rental income section on Form 11
  • entering Pay as You Earn (PAYE) income on Form 11, including downloading pre-populated pay, tax and Universal Social Charge (USC) data
  • claiming tax relief for pension contribution on Form 11
  • making a full self-assessment.

When you fill in your Form 11, please ensure that you:

  • complete the ‘IT Self-Assessment’ panel

  • and
  • pay on ROS.

ROS help section

If you have questions while filling in the form, you can refer to the ROS ‘Help Section’. This is located at the top of each panel on the form.

Warning or error messages

When you ‘Save’ or ‘Sign and Submit’ your Form 11, you may get a warning message. This is to draw your attention to an item or entry in the return that may need correction. If the entry is incorrect, you must go back and amend this. If the entry is correct, you can continue to ‘Save’ or ‘Sign and Submit’.

An error message will prevent you from saving your Form 11 until an entry is corrected. The field with the error will be highlighted. It may be necessary to go back to an earlier screen to update or amend an entry. For example, you many have to go back to the 'Personal Details' panel to fill in a blank field.

ROS Revenue Record (Inbox)
