Tax Help Program

From July to October each year, ATO accredited volunteers help people lodge their tax returns online. This Tax Help program is free and helps eligible people earning $60,000 or less lodge their tax return online.

These volunteers can also help you to:

• create a myGov account
• lodge an amendment to your tax return
• claim a refund of franking credits
• tell the ATO if you don't need to lodge a tax return.

You can speak to a Tax Help volunteer:

• online
• by phone
• in person at Tax Help centres across Australia.

You are eligible for Tax Help if your income is around $60,000 or less, have simple tax affairs for the income year and you didn't:

• work as a contractor – for example, a contract cleaner, taxi or uber driver
• run a business, including as a sole trader
• have 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, that is not a foreign pension or annuity.
