Applied for TFN online 1 week ago. Did not note down the reference number, nor did I receive a confirmation email. Unclear whether the application was received by ATO. Called helpline but no one picking up. How do I track my application, I will be moving and the TFN might be sent to the wrong address. Please advise.
Hi @Zav
We don't currently have a way to track TFN applications.
If it's only been a week since you lodged it, there is a high chance this is still processing.
If you are moving, may we suggest contacting Aus post and setting up a temporary redirection for your mail.
Here is a previous post we have answered before that you will find helpful.
