Hi, I have some questions regarding my Tax Return.
I prepared it, but I didn't lodge.
I received a text saying "Hi, we're at the final stage of processing your tax return. We'll deposit your refund within 3 business days to your nominated account.
Australian Tax Office"
I have not received anything, and my tax return is not lodge. Is it scam?
Hi @RobertoM
If you can see in your MyGov that your return is not lodged, I would be cautious about opening any links within the SMS.
You can check your MyGov for updates and refunds. ATO does send an SMS when the final stages of your return have been completed and a refund is due to issue.
