Accounting Checkers

Choose an accounting checker for the question in front of you: whether a TFN follows the expected number pattern, or how a working arrangement compares with employee and contractor factors.

Choose What You Need to Check

The TFN checker takes a Tax File Number and returns a format result. Read the checker’s input and privacy instructions before entering client information.

For a working arrangement, the employee and contractor checker needs answers about the arrangement. Its screening result helps you identify factors that need further review. Have the relevant facts ready so you can answer the questions about the work.

Use the Result for the Next Step

A TFN that passes a number-pattern check is not proof that the number was issued or belongs to your client. Keep the format result separate from identity verification. If the number fails, check for a typing error before deciding what to do next.

An employee and contractor screening result cannot make a binding legal determination. If the arrangement is unclear, identify which facts remain unresolved. Read the supporting explanation on the selected checker page to understand the result and decide what further information you need.
