DIRPF 2021 Generator Program
The “Programa Gerador da DIRPF2021” is available for download as of 8:00:00 a.m. on February 25, 2021, as well as the “Meu Imposto de Renda” application.
Return schedule
The return payment schedule is divided into five lots:
As in previous years, the returns will be prioritized according to the date of reporting the DIRPF, respecting categories of taxpayers with legal priority in receiving the refund (special priority for those above 80 years-old, priority for those aged 60 years-old or above, disabled) or serious illness and taxpayers whose main source of income is teaching).
What's new in this edition
Cryptocurrencies
In the Goods and Rights form, three types of cryptocurrency information were created:
- 81 - Cryptocurrency Bitcoin – BTC;
- 82 - Other cryptocurrencies, of the digital currency type (altcoins como Ether, XRP, Bitcoin Cash, Tether, Chainlink, Litecoin...);
- 89 – Other cryptocurrencies (payment tokens).
Return to payment accounts
For statements with “Imposto a Restituir” (Tax to Return), it is now possible to select "Contas Pagamento" (from Fintechs, for example) for refund credit.
Oversharing
Now, it is possible to send the Oversharing information without having to correct the “Declaração Final de Espólio” (Final Declaration of Estate) already sent. To do this, in the collection form, it is necessary to check the "Sobrepartilha" (oversharing) option.
E-mail and Mobile
The Federal Revenue may use the e-mail address and mobile number provided on the identification form to inform the existence of important messages in your MailBox.
However, the taxpayer must be aware: the agency does not use this route to request tax, banking and registration information.
Pre-filled Statement
The pre-filled statement will be available to taxpayers with access to the e-CAC Portal, through access code and password and not only to those who have a Digital Certificate.
Pre-filled statement of dependents
When starting a statement with pre-filled data, it is possible to obtain the income information the dependents received, as long as the taxpayer has a proxy for the dependent registered on the e-CAC portal.
Exemption for individuals over 65 year-old
When the retirement, reserve, reform, or pension income from taxpayers over 65 years-old is reported on the “Rendimentos Isentos e Não Tributáveis” (Exempt and Non-Taxable Income) form, the exempt portion will be calculated and the surplus will be automatically transferred to the Taxable Income from Legal Entities form.
New Caixa Econômica account
Caixa Econômica Federal currently has two valid current account number formats. Both can be informed to register the bank information to debit the payment of the income tax shares or credit of the refund.
Taxation of Emergency Assistance
The amounts received as Emergency Assistance and Residual Emergency Assistance are considered taxable income and must be reported as such in the “Rendimentos Recebidos de Pessoa Jurídica” (Income Received from Legal Entities) form.
Return of Emergency Assistance
In this year, taxpayers who received emergency assistance due to the Covid-19 pandemic are required to report the DIRPF, if they have received, together with the assistance, other taxable income in an annual value greater than BRL 22,847.76. In this situation, the taxpayer must return the amount of the emergency assistance.
