The option to use the pre-filled form feature is now available in the 2022 Income Tax declaration, one of the innovations introduced by the Federal Revenue in this year’s declarations.
The pre-completion allows the taxpayer to have data such as that of paying companies, amounts received and medical consultations automatically completed. The Revenue’s intention is to make the process more agile and also to avoid errors and cases of fine mesh, largely caused by inattention and small typing errors.
Initially scheduled to be available this Tuesday (15), the option of the pre-filled form in the IR declaration was released by the IRS on Monday (14).
The declarations began on March 7 and the deadline ends on April 29. The five refund batches will take place between May 31 and September 30.
Delivery is mandatory for those who had taxable earnings above BRL 28,559.70 in 2021 or exempt and non-taxable income above BRL 40 thousand.
How it works
Pre-filled form option is available only for taxpayers who log in to the IR 2022 platform through the gov.br system and who have an account with a silver or gold security standard.
Among the data that may already appear filled in the page, are salaries and payments made by companies, medical appointments, private pension information, rents paid and others.
This information already had to be provided by third parties to the Federal Revenue until February 28, and now, with the new security standards established by gov.br, they are automatically reused by the system from the taxpayer’s CPF.
This means that data such as CNPJ or CPF of the sources, as well as the values transacted, will already appear ready — it is the user’s responsibility to only check and correct them, if any, before transmitting.
“The biggest problem of fine mesh is lack of attention in filling, people put the company’s CNPJ or the doctor’s CPF wrong”, he told the CNN Brasil Business the national supervisor of the IR 2022, the tax auditor José Carlos da Fonseca. “With pre-filling, which is just checking, we hope to reduce the fine mesh.”
gov.br
“gov.br” is a single login created by the federal government that allows citizens to access various public services over the internet without needing an account for each one of them, such as INSS, Enem and documents such as CPF and work card.
The account exists in three levels of security: bronze (the simplest, without authentication), silver and gold. In these two, the user authenticates his data “online” with partner institutions, such as banks or the National Traffic Department (Denatran).
This authentication mechanism raises the level of security and allows the IRS to handle more information about the citizen. The gov.br account can be created by anyone on the government page.
For income tax, it can now be used in the three channels available for the declaration: the e-CAC system, the “Meu Tax de Renda” app on mobile or the Revenue website.
The old access system, with its own login, password and access key, is still available. In these cases, however, the information on paying sources and transacted amounts are not filled in automatically, and users must manually complete them according to their income reports and invoices.
