Federal Revenue reports that more than 1 million income tax declarations for 2023 have been delivered as of 5 p.m. on Wednesday (15). This is the highest number of first-day requests for ads in at least 6 years.
There were 1,050,123 announcements in all, 302,000 of them in the first hour alone — a number that’s 30% higher than in 2022. The IR 2023 filing period, base year 2022, started today at 9 a.m. Delivery continues through May 31st.
According to revenue, as of 5 p.m., 2,215,062 downloads of the 2023 income tax software had been made. The IR generator is available on the agency’s website and It can be obtained here. However, it should be noted that online and mobile claims have some limitations. (Learn more below)
Federal Revenue also stated that 622,920 statements were received using the pre-filled form. Of this total, 273,890 have used the Meu Imposto de Renda app. 349,030 people used Ad Generator (PGD) software.
Regarding records of instability at the site, the Revenue Authority said the errors occurred due to too many entries, and stated that permit applications were not yet available. “These conditions have already been normalized,” he concluded.

Pre-filled statement
Among the major changes announced by the Department of Revenue is the ability for the taxpayer to use the return already pre-filled at the opening of the delivery period.
As the name implies, the taxpayer’s data from what was previously reported is filled in the income tax withholding return (Dirf), which is handed over to the agency by payment to legal entities, real estate companies and health service providers until the end of February.
However, the Revenue considers that the taxpayer is still responsible for confirming, changing, including or deleting the data, if necessary. The pre-populated ad is available through ad generator software (PGD), on a computer, through the Meu Imposto de Renda solution (online), or in an iOS or Android app.
The point is that the pre-populated option is an exclusive option for users of the silver and gold levels of the Gov.br account (see here how to open your account).
“The big advantage of the model will be speed of filling and reduced risk of micro-networking,” said Ricardo Oliveira de Jesus, partner at ABordin Consultores, a company that integrates CorpServices Group.
According to the executive branch, The information that will come in the pre-filled statement is:
- enrollment data, dependents, sources of payment, assets, and rights;
- Income declared in Dirf, DIMOB, and DMED;
- Carne-lion Network
- private pension contributions declared in e-financeira;
- Data (Registration Information and Acquisition Data) for properties acquired in 2022, provided they are recorded in a note and reported to Revenue through a real estate operations declaration (DOI). The taxpayer must manually report information on payments;
- Donations made to charitable entities that are reported on the DBF will be automatically imported;
- Data on crypto assets, reported by brokers in the sector;
- Automatic update of bank balances on December 31, 2022, provided that the information – CNPJ, Bank, Account and Branch, for example – is duly completed on the base date of December 31, 2021;
- Listing new or previously unauthorized bank accounts or investment funds. Special attention will be given to this element so that there is no duplication at launch;
- The value of refunds received in 2022.

3 – Acknowledgment or Correction?
When the IR 2023 program opens, click on the “New” tab and select the “Annual Amendment Announcement” option. Then just select the “Start Importing 2022 Declaration” option if your permit is from last year on the same computer. Otherwise, click on “start blank statement”.
Fill in personal data first, such as address and CPF number. By clicking on “Identify a taxpayer”, you must also inform the receipt number of the declaration submitted in the past, the electoral address number and your occupation.
At the top of the page, click on “Original Annual Adjustment Statement” – indicating that this is a new statement. The other option, Statement of Correction, must be used to submit a correction to the previous statement referring to the same year.
Everything known to payment sources and financial institutions must be declared. Otherwise, the taxpayer risks getting caught in the fine net.
To do this, you will need to obtain your company and banking information and declare last year’s income. In the form “Taxable income received from legal entities by the owner” all sources of payment and all amounts received in 2022 must be reported.
Exempt and non-taxable income, such as scholarships and gains from savings, must be reported in a specific form. Income from financial investments, profit sharing, and results must be reported on the “Exclusive Taxable Income” form.
Financial investments, current account balance and assets such as real estate and vehicles must be reported in the “Assets and Rights” form, in real terms on December 31, 2021 and at the end of 2022.
Expenses with provable deductible expenses, such as payments with health and education, must be declared on a Payments in Advances form, and the CNPJ or CPF must be reported to the institution or professional.
8 – Examination of pending issues
There is a “Pending Check” button. If any mandatory field is not filled in, the program itself will alert and show what needs to be corrected.
9 – complete or simplified
The final step is to choose a tax form: by statutory deductions, which are called full declaration, or by simplified deduction. The program itself indicates which option is most advantageous—that is, which offers the largest refund or the lowest amount of tax paid.
10 – recoverable account
For taxpayers who are entitled to a refund, the system requires that the bank, agency and current account be informed of the deposit. If you have tax to pay, you can choose to pay the amount in up to 8 installments.
Finally, just click on ‘Delivery Announcement’, in the lower left corner of the screen. The statement is saved automatically.
A new box will appear on the screen asking the taxpayer to select which declaration to submit. Then just click OK, and that’s it.
