Tax help centre

Tax Help is a network of ATO-trained and accredited community volunteers who provide a free and confidential service to help people complete their tax returns online using myTax.

If you need help lodging your tax return, you may be eligible for the Tax Help program.

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

How to book an appointment

If you’re eligible for Tax Help, you will need a myGov account linked to the ATO. When you are ready to make an appointment, contact the Student Advocacy & Support Service on 9246 8615.
