Since the ATO have gone online with mygov I have discovered two overdue tax returns from when I was a teenager working for 2010/2012 and 2011/2012.
I was unaware I needed to lodge a tax return as I was working casually and then part time while in high school and was not earning above the tax threshold.
I do not have any information to lodge the overdue tax returns as I do not have any records from that time. I have attempted to call the ATO multiple times without being able to talk to anyone, it says it's a busy period and to try again later.
I have tried to get old bank statements but they do not go that far back online. I have tried to retrieve an old email address that was hacked that may have old payslips/group certificates but I have been unsuccessful. I have also tried to contact my old employer and have not had a response back - I am assuming they no longer have this information.
I have looked at previous similar questions and cannot find how to request copy of tax documents from this time and there are no details online from previous employer that I can use.
Unsure what to do next and how to resolve this.
