I AM CURRENTLY ON 485 VISA. DURING THE 2022-2023 TAX RETURNS, I SELECTED NOT A RESIDENT AS I WAS NOT AWARE 485 VISA IS RESIDENT FOR TAX PURPOSE. AS A RESULT, I PAID FULL INCOME TAX AND MY RESIDENT STATUS SAYS 'NO' ON ATO. HOW DO I CHANGE THIS?
HOW DO I CLAIM TAX FREE THRESHOLD WITH MY CURRENT EMPLOYER?
THANK YOU
Provide your employer with a withholding declaration form. See link

You can change your residency status with ATO when you lodge your next tax return. Place on tax return to indicate you are a resident.
If you need to change a prior year tax return you lodge an amendment. See link.

If you amend or lodge a tax return as a resident you will be levied the Medicare levy. If you are not eligible for Medicare benefits then you need to apply for an exemption. See link
