Hi All. This is probably more directed to the ATO employees that are in the group to help answer. But all help is great.
So my tax agent lodged my return on the 7th July 2023. There is a credit owing to me. I have been previously bankrupt but have cleared that at start of the year and ATO has acknowledged. I have been told i have no tax debt and that it is noted on my account. However, 4 months in and no refund. Have been told a couple of months ago that past bankrupts are been scrutinized by the ATO and earlier in the year i have been told that because the system does not auto wipe your bankruptcy it will take months for a return. Not sure who to trust and believe anymore. Can not speak to anyone as system hangs up on you. Totally pissed and frustrated. Have been told this will happen every year a return is lodged due to past bankruptcy. Any help from ATO spokesperson or contact number to call and get correct explanation and time frame for refund would be great.
