How do I get access to myTax
If you’re lodging your tax return online this year, you will need to have a myGov account linked to the ATO.
Our online services are now linked to myGovExternal Link which is a fast and simple way to access a wide range of Australian Government services online with one login and password in one secure location.
What if I start and then realise I am not eligible?
If you begin your tax return using myTax, and then realise that you are not eligible or change your mind, you can simply exit or log out of the return prior to lodging, and use an alternative lodgment method such as e-tax.
If you have already lodged your return using myTax, but forgot to include some of your details, then you can’t lodge again. You will need to lodge an amendment.
I have started my return in e-tax, can I still use myTax?
If you begin your tax return using e-tax, and later change your mind, you can simply exit e-tax prior to lodging, and then start your return again using myTax.
If you have already lodged your return using e-tax, but forgot to include some of your details you can’t lodge again using myTax or e-tax. You will need to lodge an amendment.
