Hi,
I still haven’t been paid my tax return from last year it just says balancing account. So I don’t know if it’s just gonna be given to me this year, and I get one big return.

Hi @Beau22
When did you lodge your return?
Balancing account just means we need to make checks with other Govt agencies this can take time.
Have a look here at where's my return with info about how we process returns.

Hi @Beau22
If it's been since October last year, then it's best to
reach out to us on our individuals line so we can see what the hold-up is.
We try to process online lodgments within 2-4 weeks but,
amendments can take longer.
It's normal to go over 4 weeks especially for an amendment.
I would reach out to us because your lodgment from October last year might be holding up your amendment.
