I applied for a TFN in July last year, but I entered the wrong address, so I did not receive the mail. I have tried some methods to recover my TFN, such as looking for solutions on the ATO website. It suggested that I check my NOA, statement of account, income statement, or contact a registered tax agent, but I do not have any of these information. I wonder if there is any other way to get my TFN back. My TFN is not linked to any other services, so I cannot use them to verify my identity. Is there anyone who can help me? Thank you for your time and attention.
Hi @dhhhh11ww11
The remaining two options you have in locating your TFN that you haven’t mentioned trying at this stage is to discuss your situation with our individual tax area or lodge a paper enquiry request.
You can do this by going to our TFN application or enquiry for individuals – instructions page for information on how to order the form.
