Authenticate yourself with your personal data
In order to be authenticated by this process, you will need to first check that your data is up to date in the ATO system. A common problem people have is they have out-of-data phone numbers and addresses from when they first lodged or even their last tax agent has his details in there. Remember, the data in there is likely to be the original data and this is different to MyGov data and not connected.

Simply log in to you MyGov Account by going here https://my.gov.au/
