Personal/Elements Tax- AI Anomaly Detection Tax Year Comparison

11th November 2025

IRIS Personal Tax and Elements Tax has a new AI tool (AI powered Anomaly Detection) released in IRIS version 25.4/Latest Elements update (Explained on the Nov 2025 release). This allows you to view changes to income/profit values between TWO years for PT/Element clients.

This will only operate if you have a prior years data already generated/submitted as it needs 2 consecutive years data. Eg if you are in year 2025, then it requires 2024 tax return to be generated/submitted. The examples below are comparing 2024 to 2025.

When you click ‘Internet return’ or ‘Electronic Tax return’ (or equivalent in Elements):

1.This AI Anomaly Detection option will appear – Click YES if you wish to compare the tax years values . NO to continue as before

2. It will take a few moments to run the comparison (do note it may be initially slow to process but will improve speed)

3. TWO tabs will appear – it will first load the RECOMMENDATIONS option. It will pick up prior 2024 years values which have changed by 10% compared to 2025 (Either higher/lower). It is by default only designed to look at 10% changes at this stage.

4. The other tab ‘DATA COMPARISON’ will now show 2024 and 2025 values together by any 10% changes.

5. This tool will be improved over time – for example -if there are no 10% changes to values = these income types should be hidden from view.
