How do I file my past tax return on eFiling from 2012?

I began working in January 2012, would I still be liable to file for a tax return for the period Jan 2012 - 28 Feb 2012???

Please advise?

Yes, you need to still file a tax return for 2012 - your company needs to give you an IRP5 for 2012 which will detail your earnings for Jan and Feb 2012.

In fact, it is likely you will be due a refund for this period as you have probably paid tax based on a full year while only working for 2 months (assuming you did not work for the other months of the year).
