Revenue opens consultation on the 3rd batch of Income Tax refunds this Friday (24)

The query to find out if you will receive it is done on the tax authorities' website. You must provide your name, CPF and date of birth. It is also possible to check the information on My Income Tax, on the tax authority website or app for cell phones and tablets, and via eCAC (Virtual Service Center).

Of the total refunds, 839.5 thousand will be allocated to taxpayers with priority for having made a pre-filled IR declaration or because they chose to receive the refund via Pix. Another 309.4 thousand refunds will be paid to taxpayers falling under different priority criteria, while 197.8 thousand cover people with legal priority.

The remaining 1,396,474 refunds refer to taxpayers who do not fall into priority categories.

According to the tax authorities, with this batch, payments of IR refunds for 2026 come to an end. In the next installment, scheduled to be paid at the end of August, the amounts will be released to taxpayers who had fallen through the cracks, sent the rectifying declaration and can now receive the money.

HOW TO MAKE A REFUND INQUIRY?

- Access the IRS website - On the home page, go to "My Income Tax" - Then, on the "Services" tab, click on "Consult my refund" - Click on "Start" and enter your CPF number, date of birth - Choose the year to which the amounts refer, which is 2025 - Then, click on "I'm human" and, finally, on "Consult" - You will be informed whether the refund will be paid or not

The payment of the Income Tax refund follows an order defined by specific legislation and Federal Revenue regulations. In case of a tie, the tiebreaker criterion will be the date and time of sending the declaration.

Whoever delivered earlier will have an advantage. See the order of priority:

1. Elderly aged 80 or over2. Elderly people aged 60 or over, and people with disabilities and serious illnesses3. Taxpayers whose biggest source of income is teaching4. Taxpayers who used the pre-filled declaration and chose to receive the refund through Pix5. Taxpayers who used the pre-filled declaration or chose to receive the refund via Pix6. Other contributors

The IRS also informs that currently around 165 thousand refunds have not been credited because the taxpayer reported the CPF as the Pix key for receipt, but does not have a bank account linked to this key. The situation will need to be regularized. To do this, there are three alternatives:

1. register a Pix key with the bank that is your CPF2 number. change the account to credit the refund through the My Income Tax service3. rectify the declaration, informing a bank account in your name

HOW TO CONSULT THE PROCESSING OF THE DECLARATION?

To check the processing of the Income Tax declaration and find out whether it has fallen through the cracks or whether the declaration has already been processed, the taxpayer must access e-CAC, the Federal Revenue's virtual service area, using the Gov.br Portal login and password with a silver or gold level.

After logging in, simply click on "My Income Tax" to check the declaration extract. This extract shows the IR status. Possible statuses include “pending”, “under review” or “processed”.

The declaration is processed within 24 hours of sending, but may take longer as the deadline approaches and the volume of deliveries increases. If pending issues appear, corrections must be made by sending a rectifying statement. When correcting errors, the taxpayer returns to the end of the refund queue, except in cases of legal priority, such as the elderly.

WHAT IS THE AUTOMATIC SPECIAL LOT THAT THE REVENUE PAID FOR THIS YEAR?

The IRS paid a special batch of automatic Income Tax refunds to 3.5 million taxpayers through cashback this year. The taxpayer did not need to provide any data, but can consult the document and make changes, if desired, through My Income Tax, on the IRS app or website. It is also possible to consult at eCAC (Virtual Service Center).

R$500 million in refunds were paid to workers who did not declare income tax in 2025, but who received some tax discount in 2024. It was also necessary to have up to R$1,000 to receive, be considered low tax risk and have a Pix key registered with the CPF number.
