logic fail
Sep. 19th, 2013 09:32 amI am very bad at paperwork.
Because I am very bad at paperwork, my superannuation is in a bit of a mess.
Thankfully, the Australian Tax Office is here to help! I just need to go to their website, and ask! Woo!
BUT WAIT. What if I'm not really me? Oh noes! They'd better verify my details to make sure.
...which is how I end up registering with the ATO, and having them ask me for:
- my name
- my birthdate
- the details of the bank account I had my taxes paid into
- the date they sent me a notice of assessment for my taxes
- the hour and minute of my first sneeze during the third full moon in 2008
(Okay, so that last one is a lie. But I consider it no harder to tell them than the OTHERS.)
...yeah. So, that being bad at paperwork thing? How am I supposed to find all this paperwork that I need before the ATO will help me to find my paperwork? How?
*slight sob*
