As has been the case since 2019, the 2022 Income Tax refunds will be made in five batches. Payments start on May 31, for the first batch, following the order of priority established by law, and go until September 30, when the fifth batch will be paid. Those who send the declaration first will also receive a refund for the first batches.
This year, the taxpayer can inform his Pix key to receive the refund. However, this key must necessarily be the taxpayer’s CPF. Mobile number, email and random keys will not be accepted.
The other credit options in checking and savings accounts are still valid. Those who have tax to pay can pay in up to eight installments and payment can also be made via Pix.
First of all, understand that the income tax return is intended to provide information to the government about your spending and the taxes you paid throughout the year. Thus, to make the declaration, you will need the documents and records that prove your earnings and expenses.
Therefore, you must provide your personal documents such as CPF and voter registration. In addition, have proof of your financial income, whether salary, banking or financial investments. For this, contact your bank or your employer. Institutions must provide this information free of charge.
If you received any social security benefit, such as unemployment insurance or sickness benefit, seek the income report at the INSS.
You must also present records that prove the ownership of your assets, such as real estate, automobiles and works of art, for example.
It is also important to keep records of expenses that can be deducted from the Income Tax, such as health and education expenses.
The Income Tax declaration must be carried out completely through the program or application available on the Federal Revenue website.
The first fields that must be filled in refer to your personal data. The Revenue program presents a menu that must be filled in according to the established order. That is, you first inform your income, then your expenses and, at the end, you receive the information with the tax payment guide.
After filling in all the fields, check the information. Then send your statement to the IRS. At this point you will receive two very important files. The first is the proof of shipment document, which is generated at the time of shipment and serves to prove that you have made the declaration.
The other document is the Federal Revenue Collection Document (DARF). It is only issued if, after filling in all the data, it is proven that you must pay something to the Revenue. The document contains the amount and conditions for payment.
The Internal Revenue Service system allows you to select the declaration sent with errors, inform the number of the supporting document, change the data and resubmit the declaration, now with the changes. It is worth remembering that this process can only be carried out within the submission deadline.
After submitting your statement, you just have to pay the tax due by issuing a DARF (Federal Revenue Collection Document) or, if you must get back part of what you paid during the year, you just have to wait for the payment of your refund.
Individuals may deduct from income tax donations made, in the respective calendar year, to funds controlled by the municipal, district, state and national Councils for the Rights of Children and Adolescents, respecting the established limit.

3) From there, you choose the amount to be donated, within the limit already indicated by the Federal Revenue software, based on the income presented.
4) Finally, select the DARF tab – Donations Directly on the Declaration, print the document and pay by the due date.
5) Now just send the proof of payment of DARF, by e-mail, to the Council of Children and Adolescents of Betim (cmdcafiabetim@gmail.com) with Ramacrisna in copy (ramacrisna@ramacrisna.org.br), informing that the donation will be destined to the Ramacrisna Institute.
