IR 2023: What is the deadline to rectify? Does it appear in the e-CAC? – 06/02/2023 – Market

With the end of the deadline for sending the 2023 Income Tax declaration, on May 31, taxpayers who have already rendered accounts —on time or in arrears— can check if there is any flaw in the document or if it has already been processed of the data sent.

To find out how the analysis of the tax declaration is going, the taxpayer can access the e-CAC (Virtual Revenue Service Center) or the Gov.br Portal. You must have a silver or gold password for the gov.br system and enter the “My Income Tax” link.

After 24 hours of sending the declaration, the taxpayer can already know whether or not he fell into the fine mesh. When checking the document, however, some terms may appear that indicate the treatment already given by the Revenue to the Income Tax of each citizen.

What might appear in the IR fine mesh query?

Reception:

• It means that the Income Tax declaration was received by the Revenue’s computers and has not yet undergone any further verification. With this, it is understood that the shipment was successful and that, soon, the tax authorities will have a position on the tax situation.

Processing:

• It means that, in addition to being received, the declaration is being processed by the Federal Revenue Service, which is when the tax authorities analyze the information provided by the taxpayer. This is a phase beyond receipt of the declaration, but it still does not release the taxpayer from the fine mesh.

Processed:

• It means that the statement was processed and passed through the IRS, with no discrepancies between the information provided by the taxpayer and the paying sources. The next phase is the release of the refund, according to the date of delivery of the statement, the amount released to the month’s payment batch and if the citizen is in any legal priority.

In queue for refund:

• It means that the taxpayer has the declaration information checked by the tax authorities and has already joined the refund queue to receive payment of the amounts. The date, however, is only confirmed when consultation with the IR payment batches opens, which are five, from May to September. Click here to view the refund payment schedule.

Mesh pending

• It means that, unfortunately, the taxpayer fell into the fine mesh. This occurs when the information provided by the citizen is not in accordance with what was reported by paying sources and service providers to the citizen, such as doctors, dentists, clinics, hospitals and health plan, among others.
• To leave the network and receive the refund, it is necessary to correct even the error, sending a rectifying statement.

Even after processing the declaration and paying the refund, the taxpayer may still undergo investigation at the Federal Revenue Service. The deadline for the tax authorities to verify the declaration and call the citizen to provide clarification, if deemed necessary, is up to five years after delivery of the IR.

What is the deadline for rectifying the IR?

According to the Federal Revenue Service, the deadline to rectify the income tax declaration is up to five years after submission. That is, in the case of the 2023 IR, the taxpayer will have until the 2028 financial year to correct information. This goes for “fixing” errors that the Revenue may have identified or including information that was left out when declaring the Income Tax.

Can I rectify the Income Tax as many times as necessary?

According to the Federal Revenue, the taxpayer can rectify the IR as many times as necessary. There is no limit on the delivery of grinding machines, however, for more than ten grinding machines, the taxpayer must deliver the document directly to the Revenue service in their city, as they may have some questions and will need to be guided by tax officials.
