Tax Help is a network of ATO-trained community volunteers who can help you prepare your tax return using myTax.

The free Tax Help program helps people earning $70,000 or less lodge their tax return online. If you need help lodging your tax return, you may be eligible for the Tax Help program.

Tax Help is available from July to 31 October.

From July to October each year, our accredited volunteers help people lodge their tax returns online. Our volunteers can also help you:

• lodge amendments
• claim a refund of franking credits
• create a myGov account
• tell us if you don't need to lodge a return.

You can receive Tax Help online or by phone. You can also get help face to face from Tax Help centres across Australia.
