To help you file your tax return, the Federal Government decided to release the My Income Tax application.
However, many people still have doubts about what they can and cannot do with the app and when it can be useful.
If you also have this or other questions regarding the app, read this post until the end, as here we will present everything you need to know about the subject to prepare your statement and not get caught by the Lion. Happy reading!
What is the My Income Tax Application?
The My Income Tax application is an application, created by the Federal Government, which aims to help people who will need to file their 2023 Income Tax declaration.
However, unlike access on the web, the app will only be useful for those who will make declarations as an individual. Therefore, if you make declarations as a legal entity, the app will not be able to help you.
The services that are available for use are:
- Fill;
- Tax declaration submission.
How can you download the My Income Tax app?
As soon as the IRS releases the 2023 Income Tax declaration, which takes place from March 15th. After that, the app can only be downloaded through the institution's official website.
Therefore, you need to keep an eye on this detail so that you do not download apps that pretend to be from the Federal Revenue Service. The step-by-step process for downloading is very simple and can be used on Android or iOS devices. Check out:
- Access the Federal Revenue website, clicking here;
- When opening the page, click on the INCOME TAX banner;
- The option to download the program will then appear;
- When choosing to download, the website will ask you where you want to download, click on mobile device;
- Ready. The download will be done.
What can you do from the My Income Tax app?
There are many services that can be performed using the My Income Tax application and below we will talk a little about each one so that you can understand more details.
– Submission of declaration:
One of the app's basic services is the ability for you to complete your Personal Income Tax declaration.
Furthermore, you can even use last year's declaration to start filling out the declaration, using the information contained in it.
However, this will only be possible if you already have the file on your cell phone, otherwise you will have to fill it in from scratch.
- Pendencies:
Another very interesting feature of the My Income Tax app is the possibility of checking your pending issues, that is, whether or not you have fallen into the fine mesh.
Furthermore, you can check if you owe anything linked to your Tax and generate your DARF (Federal Revenue Collection Document) to be able to pay off any taxes that are pending.
However, you need to be careful here, as these three services are only available to declare Tax via cell phone or have it registered with e-CAC (Virtual Taxpayer Service Center.)
- Notifications:
Finally, the app offers you the possibility of receiving notifications about the processing of your declaration. In this case, it will be possible to receive an alert about various movements, such as:
- Pendencies;
- Issues resolved;
- Refund money returned;
- Tax refund for automatic bank debit.
It is worth remembering that this service will only be valid if you filled in the receipt number for your declaration last year or have your cell phone registered with e-CAC.
- Other services:
In addition to these services above, you can perform other simpler services through the My Income Tax app. Among them is a tab called “IRPF Question”, a guide that has questions and answers about tax declarations.
Using the app, you can also access other types of services that the IRS offers, without having to go directly to the website.
Furthermore, here you can report your earnings if you have investments in shares and FII (Real Estate Investment Funds)
Extra applications when using the My Income Tax application
One very interesting thing that is good for you to know is that it is possible to start declaring your Income Tax on your cell phone and finish it on your computer if you want.
To do this, you will need to create a keyword, which will be requested when migrating to the computer and thus continue filling out your taxes from there, without any problems.
Finally, even declaring via cell phone, you can use the printing options to generate and save your PDFs showing that you submitted the declaration, as well as proof of payment for the DARF.
