How to Create myGov and Link the ATO

Steps for creating a myGov account, linking the ATO and protecting your login details.

Key point

Use your own email address and keep recovery details current. Never share your myGov password or verification codes.

Linking information must match

The personal information entered during linking should match ATO records. If online linking fails, use official ATO support.

What you can check

Once linked, you can view Income Statements, Tax ready status, notices of assessment and return progress.

Before you apply

Check that your information covers the correct Australian income year. Keep source documents and do not enter TFNs, passport numbers or bank credentials in ordinary messages.
