It has been over 40 days since I have applied for TFN but I have not received it. what should I do?
Hi @Afshin90,
Sorry to hear you've been waiting so long for your TFN! Have a look at our information on when you will receive your TFN for what to do if its been over 28 days since lodging your application.

I am struggling financially and no body is answering the phone. I have call over 30 times.
Hi @Afshin90,
Do you need your TFN for a new job?
Keep in mind once you've given your employer a TFN declaration, you've 28 days to provide your TFN before they tax you at the higher rate.
If you are starting a new job, if you work your employer must pay you.
Perhaps you'll like to try to call at 8.00AM when our phone lines open.
I am trying to work in Doordash and they need TFN to register me. I can only work 20 hours a week so I can not work for someone. I will call again but is there anywhere I can follow up personally if I do not get answer?
thanks for responding
