Waiting on your tax return?

If you’ve already lodged your tax return, you can track its status using our online services. These are a few of the status updates you might see:

👉 ‘In progress – Information pending’: We need further info and may contact you.
👉 ‘In progress – Under review’: We’re reviewing your tax affairs, which may include prior-year assessments.
👉 ‘In progress – Balancing account’: We’re balancing your return with your tax accounts to calculate your refund or amount owing.


We’ll work to get your refund to you ASAP, but these steps are essential to protect you and the tax system. Read about the other stages of processing at www.ato.gov.au/…/L…/Tracking-your-refund-or-fixing-a-mistake
