Learn how to retrieve information from the previous year's income tax return

The Federal Revenue recently announced that the new Income Tax declaration program may obtain the reuse of information from the previous document. Thus, the novelty will streamline and bring more practicality to the processes.

It is worth emphasizing the importance of packaging these documents during the five-year period. This is because, during this time, there may be questions about information or values ​​contained in the declaration.

How to apply?

You can also make a copy of these records through the Virtual Assistance Center (e-CAC). Follow the instructions below:

• When accessing the platform, you must inform the access code and your password. If you no longer have that number, you can retrieve it by following the guidelines available on the page;
• After filling in the “CPF”, “Access Code” and “Password” fields, click on “Digital Processes”, which is in the menu on the left side of the screen;
• A new tab will open in your browser, where you must select the option “Request Service via Digital Process”;
• Now, in “Area of ​​concentration of service”, choose the option “Copy of documents”. In “Service”, select “Obtain a copy of the last delivered IRPF declaration”;
• Finally, click on “Request service”. A copy of the last statement made to the Federal Revenue will be available in the system's process folder.

Digital certificate

Another way to get the IR is through the ''Digital Certificate'', informing only the CPF number and guaranteeing your digital identity. For those wishing to transfer their information from the old document to the current one, close attention should be paid to the following recommendations:

Normally, the program redirects the search for the file to the IR 2021 “Transmissadas” folder, where you can find your statement. You can also generate a copy of the 2021 file and save it in a folder of your choice. To do so, open the IR 2021 program, and on the initial screen of the program, locate the statement in the “Transmissadas” folder.

A document with your CPF and the “.DEC” extension is your declaration. Then, open this year's declaration program (IR 2022), click on "New", choose the type of declaration ("Annual Adjustment") and then click on "Import 2021 declaration". In the next window, select the computer folder where you saved the 2021 file.

Finally, if you want to resolve this issue on site, the customer must make a virtual appointment, choose the available date and attend the Federal Revenue in person.
