How did you apply for your TFN (https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/tax-file-number/lost-or-stolen-tfn)? If you've applied via paper form, you'll need to allow 2 weeks for the application to arrive at our office. Then allow time for the application to be processed and TFN issued out via mail. Whilst we aim to process TFN applications within 28 days (https://www.ato.gov.au/about-ato/contact-us), you also need to allow 2 weeks on top of this for the TFN to arrive in the mail.
