Hi @shanebowman,

You can search online for an accountant - check that they're properly qualified and belong to a professional body. Tax agents must be registered with the Tax Practioners Board (TPB). You can find a registered tax agent or check whether a person is registered on the TPB website.

We're a free public forum where you ask general tax or super questions. We don't allow people to offer or promote paid services.

We can help explain your support options if you’ve been audited and now owe money. We can:

• Explain what how a debt arises to and what happens next.
• Outline how options (like payment plans) work.
• Point you to guidance and tools to help you understand your obligations.

We can’t negotiate the debt, prepare documents, or give personalised financial advice.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you may find it helpful to:

• Review our Help and support to lodge your tax return info.
• Use our Tax Time Toolkit or small business resources (if this relates to a business).
• Call our Lodge and Pay team to discuss your situation, next steps and options.

If you want hands‑on assistance or someone to act on your behalf, a registered tax agent is an option.
