Many people keep their income tax returns for years for fear of being called in for questioning by the IRS. By law, the IRS can ask about values and information up to five years ago.

What many don’t know, however, is that the previous year’s statement has much more uses than just keeping it. Could you Pay the current ad filling process.

It turns out that the Income Tax 2022 program can import data from the old declaration and automatically complete the data such as the declaration of goods.

How do I find my old statement?

Those who did not stick to the 2021 announcement, don’t worry, there are several ways to get it back.

For starters, if you still have the 2021 software on your computer, you can import your pass into the 2022 software with a simple button press. Just look for the import option on the main screen of the program.

This screen will usually take you to the IR 2021 “Send” folder, where the transmitted data is usually located. However, some people may have chosen to save their data to their own folders. In this case, just access the site using the import tool.

The file must have the .DEC extension for the advertisement. A file that can also be located in a .REC extension folder indicates a delivery receipt. If more people make their data on this computer, then it is normal for several files to appear in this folder. In this case, just choose what’s yours.

I deleted my program, what do I do?

Calm down, don’t despair yet. When the IRPF program is deleted, it still leaves the permission files on the computer. In this case, they will be in the “IRPF2021” folder inside the “RFB Program Files” folder. These folders are usually located in C:, unless you change directories.

In this folder you should find two files, .DEC and .REC, that refer to the acknowledgment and receipt. Now just access these files through IRPF 2022, open them, and go to New, Annual Adjustment and 2021 Import Declaration.

If you prefer, you can save these files to more convenient folders when browsing.

I deleted my software and my data, can I despair?

Not necessary, it will be a little more difficult to get the 2021 pass. There are two ways to get it, one that requires the digital certificate and the other that doesn’t. We will explain both.

With a digital certificate

This method is easier, but it needs something that not many people should have, which is the digital certificate.

To access your old acknowledgment, go to digital revenue system (e-CAC) and sign in with the digital certificate. Inside, access the “My Income Tax” page and in the “Declaration” column there will be an option “Download the submitted return file”.

Now just choose the relevant year available, in this case 2021 and perform the procedure as described above.

There is no digital certificate

This method is a bit more complicated as it has more steps than the previous one, but it is what most people will use, as the digital certificate is not widely rolled out in Brazil.

Because of the pandemic, revenue has made it easier to get a copy of the ad. To get it, just enter the access code and password in a file e-CAC . system. If you don’t have it, you can generate an icon right away.

After entering the system, it is necessary to perform a “digital service file”, for this go to “Digital operations (electronic processors)” in the bar on the left side of the screen, and in the new opened window (check if the pop-ups are activated) click Open service file.

Inside the new area, find the Service Focus Area tab and choose Copy Document. In Service, choose Obtain a copy of the last IRPF acknowledgment sent. To complete the service, click on the “Open Service File” button at the bottom.

A copy of the ad will be available in the My Operations folder on the e-CAC system.

If the system requests that documents be attached to the file, it is possible that nothing is attached. According to Federal Revenue, just opening the file is sufficient to issue a copy of the income tax return.

I was not able to! And now?

Finally, it is possible to obtain an exact copy of the advertisement at a service agency of the Internal Revenue Service in your city. For this, it is necessary to make an appointment through the site.
