I just received a second tax refund
Hi everyone,
Apologies if this is the wrong sub, please let me know. I lodged (tax agent did) my tax return back in July, and I received a refund of about $900.
However, this morning, I just received a text message from the ATO saying that I've received a return of $200 (message pictured). I thought it was a scam, but I checked my bank account, and the money is there.
I'm very confused. I checked MyGov and I cannot find anything about this second tax return. Only the original one comes up on the lodgment page and history. There were no amendments that were made either. I tried searching about it on the internet but I couldn't find anything with a similar situation. If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be great. Thank you so much.
Update: I just spoke to the ATO and apparently it's unclaimed super money. Upon further investigation it looks like a super account from a previous job that I forgot about was closed down and they sent the money back to me. I just wish they would've sent a notification or some details about it, as I did not receive any info from the super or the ATO about this which made it look very scammy!
Thank you everyone for your help (:
