Hey ,   MyGovID has pretty strict requirements on what ID documents (https://www.mygovid.gov.au/verifying-your-identity) you need to set up an account. But I've got a few options that might work.   If you already have a myGov account that you can access, we might be able to give a linking code if you call us. You'd need to answer a few questions from your time in Australia, and also need an identity document for us to verify (such as an overseas passport). We have a different number for overseas callers to ring on.   If this isn't an option, you could still lodge yourself using a paper return (https://www.ato.gov.au/forms-and-instructions/prior-year-tax-return-forms-and-schedules) for the relevant year or lodge using a registered tax agent.
