Tax File Numbers


Many students start their first job (and lodge their first tax return) while still studying. This is the easiest way to lodge this tax time.
We’ve prepared the following summary and attached PDF, which the ATO encourage schools to share with students.
Started work? Lodge your tax return withmyTax - it’s easy
MyTax
  • is the fastest way to lodge
  • is easy to access (via tablet, smart phone or computer)
  • already includes some of your personal information (pre-filled from employers, banks, government agencies and more).*
How to lodge
  • Get your tax file number and your birth certificate, passport or citizenship certificate ready.
  • Create a myGov account at my.gov.au
  • Phone the ATO on 13 28 61 and press 5 at the prompt to get your unique linking code.
  • In the myGov Services page, link to the ATO with the unique linking code.
  • Lodge your return through myTax by 31 October.
*Most pre-fill information is available in the last week of July, so it’s easier to wait until then to lodge. Then you only need to review the information, add any missing details and submit.
An e-mail with this information has been sent to school email addresses.
