Tax Help program
If you need help lodging your tax return, you may be eligible for the Tax Help program.
Tax Help is a network of ATO-trained and accredited community volunteers. They provide a free and confidential service to help eligible people complete their tax returns online using myTax.
If our volunteers work out that you don’t need to lodge a tax return, they can help you complete a non-lodgment advice.
Eligibility for Tax Help
You are eligible for Tax Help if your income is around $60,000 or less for the income year, and you didn’t:
- work as a contractor (for example, a contract cleaner or taxi or Uber driver)
- run a business, including as a sole trader
- have a business partnership or trust matters
- sell shares or an investment property
- own a rental property
- have capital gains tax (CGT)
- receive royalties
- receive distributions from a trust, other than a managed fund
- receive foreign income, other than a foreign pension or annuity.
If you're eligible, our Tax Help volunteers can help you to:
- lodge your tax return
- lodge an amendment online
- claim a refund of franking credits
- complete a non-lodgment advice (if they find that you do not need to lodge a tax return).
