The project aims to encourage the voluntary regularization of outstanding Income Tax declarations before official notifications.
AI-generated summary
The fine mesh occurs when the Federal Revenue identifies inconsistencies or pending issues in the declarations sent by taxpayers.
The IRS sent almost 500,000 letters to taxpayers across the country who have their income tax declarations withheld in the fine mesh. The Letters 2026 Project aims to encourage the population to arrange regularization before they are notified or intimidated by the agency. In Goiás, more than 17 thousand letters were sent.
The letters were sent between October 5th and 20th. The declarations that were retained in the fine mesh are those in which the Revenue identified pending issues that require clarification or correction.
According to the agency, it is important that taxpayers take the opportunity to correct the information, avoiding the risk of fines and even delays in receiving refunds.
See how to check whether the declaration fell into the fine mesh:
Access the official page or the Federal Revenue app
Log in to your gov.br account
Click on the "My Income Tax" service
Please note that your statement has the status "Pending"
By clicking on the pending link, the taxpayer can check the reason for the withholding and consult guidance on how to correct the declaration. It is not necessary to go to a Federal Revenue unit to rectify the declaration.
"It is important to check that all the values declared are correct and that there is documentation that proves what was informed in the declaration. If there is an error in the information declared, simply present a rectifying declaration", highlighted the Revenue.
