Get free help with your tax return

Published: 9 July 2026

If you’re eligible, the ATO has a free program to help you prepare and lodge your 2025-26 tax return.

If you earned $70,000 or less in the 2025-26 financial year, you may be eligible for free help from an ATO trained volunteer to prepare and lodge your tax return.

Tax Help volunteers can help you:

  • lodge your return
  • link your myGov account
  • let the ATO know if you don’t need to lodge.

If you get a Centrelink payment, you may need to lodge a tax return or tell us you don't need to lodge one.

For more information and to check if you’re eligible visit the Tax Help program on the ATO website.
