Hello,
Imagine you delete your TFN resquest number (so ATO online services can't help you) and you decide to put an australian post has your adress (you can't if you don't have a post box) how do you get your taxe number back ?
(it's my case)
Thank you in advance,
Jim b.
Hi @jimbourdaudhui,
Don't stress there are still ways for you to find your TFN.
I'd suggest first going into the post office you put down to notify the staff that's what you've done. They may be able to keep an eye out for it.
Check the link I've given it tells you what to do if you haven't received your TFN after our 28-day processing timeframe.
Hi @jimbourdaudhui,
Just to clarify, you've applied for your TFN but deleted the reference number and put a post office as the address to send it to?
If that's wrong and you already have a TFN, we have a list of ways you can find it on our article Finding your TFN.
Hi,
Yes your're right, i apply on April 18, don't save the reference number and send it to a post office.
I don't know, how I'm going to receive my TFN.
