I have a my.gov.au account through which I linked my ATO personal tax return and medicare. I also have an SMSF, is it possible for me to link my SMSF to my.gov.au to see its tax returns? If not, how can I view my SMSF tax returns online? Thanks.

Hi @Serendipity,


You can't link to your SMSF through your individual myGov account. There are a few steps to work through to see your SMSF online.


  1. First, set up your digital ID.
  2. The SMSF will need an ABN, so that you can set up online services for business.
  3. You then link to the Trust via the relationship access manager.

If you need any help, our business team are the right people to speak to.

Thank you, Rachel, for your helpful reply.

I have set up my digital myID. Yes, my SMSF has a corporate trustee and hence an ABN. I tried to link it to ATO via Access Manager but could not get it to work - got an error message. So, I will have to telephone the ATO business team (as you have suggested) to get help. The process appeared to be very complicated for a grey hair person like me!

Update: All good now.

Sorry, it has taken me a while to sort this out. I tried to link via RAM but it did not work. I phoned for help but it must have been a busy period, lines got cut off. So I gave up. Today I decided I must get the linking to work. After 20 mins wait, I got thru to a very nice and patient lady who took the time to verify my IDs and helped me with the link. I can now see my SMSF tax returns on ATO website (a huge relief). The RAM link did not work online because SMSF is a trust so the link must be done manually.
