Income Tax: declaration program comes out March 15 – 02/24/2023 – Market

The Federal Revenue Service will release the 2023 Income Tax declaration program on March 15, the initial deadline for reporting to the tax authorities. Taxpayers will have until May 31 to declare the IR this year.

The program is necessary to fill out and send the document and is usually released, all at once, for computer, tablet and cell phone. In the case of taxpayers who are going to declare by computer, it is necessary to download it.

For those who declare on other platforms, it is necessary to update or download again. There is also the option of completing the declaration online, through the e-CAC, which is the Federal Revenue Service Virtual Service Center.

Starting this year, the deadline for submitting the IR is longer, two and a half months, so that the taxpayer can use the pre-filled IR return from the first day.

Know how to use the pre-filled income tax return

The pre-filled declaration started to be valid in 2022, available for taxpayers with a silver or gold account on the Gov.br portal. In all, about 10 million citizens were benefited with the novelty last year. This year, the Revenue wants to expand the service, therefore, it changed the date of delivery of the declaration, previously sent from the first days of March.

As companies have until the end of February to send information to the tax authorities, a longer period is needed to process the data.

Access to the pre-filled statement is done on the e-CAC, through the program installed on the computer or by cell phone or tablet, through the Meu Imposto de Renda app.

The main forms are already filled. The first one is the taxpayer information, which brings the data declared to the Federal Revenue in the previous year. If there are dependents, names and documents will be on the “Dependants” sheet. The salary paid by the company or the INSS retirement will also appear in the system.

It is possible to add, change or delete information. It is very important to check all the data before sending the declaration, because they are the citizen’s responsibility, and can make the taxpayer fall into the fine mesh.
