I lodged my tax return on 4 July & it is still saying"balancing account". How much longer? I need tax return to pay for urgent medical treatment?
Hey @Debcook
Thank you for your patience.
'Balancing' simply means we're reviewing your accounts with other Australian Govt agencies. This can take a few extra days while we work your refund or bill.
Check our where's my return article for more info on the progress of your return.
