There are 11 numbers n such that phi(n) <= tau(n) and 7 numbers n such that phi(n) = tau(n); see A020490 and A020488.
Sequences b(k) of numbers n such that a(n) = k are finite for all k >=0; see A279508 (the smallest numbers n such that a(n) = k for k>=0) and A279509 (the largest numbers n such that a(n) = k for k>=0).
See A140475 (numbers n such that floor(phi(n)/tau(n)) > floor(phi(m)/tau(m)) for all m < n).

FORMULA
a(n) > 1 for numbers in A279289.
EXAMPLE
For n=5; a(5) = floor(phi(5)/tau(5)) = floor(4/2) = 2.
