On the 1st day, 130,000 submit their income tax returns

Until 5 pm last Monday (7), the Federal Revenue had received 130,099 statements of Income Tax 2022, base year 2021, on the first day for delivery of the document.

The program for completing the IR was made available yesterday, with news such as payment of tax due and receipt of refunds by Pix.

The taxpayer has until April 29 to fill in the data and report to the tax authorities. The IRS expects that 34.1 million declarations will be delivered by the end of the term.

Also until 5 pm yesterday, 752,484 taxpayers had already downloaded the 2022 Income Tax program on the Federal Revenue website, compared to 312,182 downloads until the same time of the first day that the program was available in 2021.

Instability

The Income Tax 2022 program showed instabilities this Monday. According to contributors, there was a delay in downloading the program and the impossibility of accessing the system.

Responding to questions on Twitter, the Federal Revenue said that the cause of the problems was the large number of hits and that the situation is already being addressed by the technical area.

“Due to the high number of hits in the early hours of this morning, the program download is showing instability. This situation is being addressed and it is recommended that you wait and try again later,” he said.

In addition, there were users who pointed out an error in the program, in which there was a tab for filling in information in 2023.

However, in this year’s program, the taxpayer must fill in information about the base year of 2021. When contacted, the IRS stated that there was “a small error” about the field to fill in information for the year 2023, but it has already been corrected.

News

When declaring the Income Tax, the taxpayer may have tax payable or amounts receivable, by way of refund. This year, both operations can be carried out through Pix. However, only the CPF can be used as a key in cases of refund – mobile number, e-mail and random keys will not be accepted.

The IRS also made the pre-filled declaration more widely available this year. Before, as the tax law professor at FGV Direito Rio Bianca Xavier explained, only taxpayers who had a digital certificate – which is paid for – were able to access the service.

Now, those who have Gov.br account certifications at silver or gold levels, free of charge, will be able to enjoy the benefit.

“It already comes with the sources of income filled in, with CNPJ, for example. It’s an incredible facility. But there is a lot of information that people have to complement. In addition, you have to check if everything is right or if any information is missing”, said Bianca.

All e-CAC Income Tax services can be accessed with a gov.br silver or gold account.

Starting this year, only nine topics can be selected. In addition, in cases of savings, for example, in which the income needed to be informed on the exempt income form, this can now be done in the Goods and Rights space.

And, for vehicles, it is mandatory to fill out the Renavam. Before, it was optional.
