TFN eligibility questionnaire
Four yes/no questions tell you whether to apply for a TFN or find the one you already have. This is a preliminary questionnaire — we never ask you to enter your TFN, and only the ATO issues them.
Official site: ATO — Tax file number ↗
Type: preliminary eligibility questionnaire. No TFN is requested or stored.
1. Have you ever been issued a TFN before?
You only ever get one TFN. If you had one, you need to find it, not apply again.
2. Are you an Australian resident for tax purposes, or a citizen/permanent resident?
3. Do you hold a visa that allows you to work or study in Australia?
4. Are you currently in Australia?
Answer every question to see the result.
