Understanding Your Income and Tax Reports

Approximately three million taxpayers are about to receive numerous notifications regarding income and taxes from the Internal Revenue Service. These are important letters in which the Tax Authority reports any deficiencies or inconsistencies it has identified by comparing the data in the income tax return with the data in its databases. What’s in the letters and how do they arrive? The letters contain communications about a possible error or a larger loan, for example. All these letters are now also available in the Tax Drawer and can therefore be managed via retention notification if they were not delivered via certified email or post or if the postman was unable to deliver the letter and put it in your mailbox. entirely online by the taxpayer. Recipients of the communication or their accountants can therefore request assistance or proceed directly with the payment of the amount due. This is because the contents of the tax drawer have been expanded. Where can I find the information sent to me by the Tax Office? Communication of automatic control results can be accessed from the ‘Agency Writes’ online section of the Tax Office. It was reiterated that the same communications will continue to be sent via traditional methods, i.e. registered mail or certified email. When a communication arrives in the Tax Drawer, the taxpayer will be notified with a notification within his/her allocated area and, if registered with the IO application, with a push notification on his/her mobile phone. A search service using the identifying data of the contact is also active. What is Civis function? Once notification is received, taxpayers can proceed directly to the payment process to edit their location or request clarification or provide items to the Agency via the Civis service, whose functionality is integrated into the Tax Drawer. In particular, it will be possible to report the reasons why it is believed that the payment is partially or completely not due. How does it work? The user accesses the functionality, identifies the contact for which he/she wishes to request assistance, enters the requested information and comments useful for possible redetermination of amounts due. When the transactions made by the office are completed, the user receives the result of the transaction in the same CIVIS section. Intermediaries assisting taxpayers are required to promptly inform those concerned, issue them with receipts, and communicate the results of the assistance provided by the Institution. Why is the Revenue Administration writing to me? The Revenue Administration checks the accuracy of the information in the income tax returns submitted every year and whether the payments are made correctly and on time. Therefore, it may send compliance letters to taxpayers. Irregularity notices issued following this so-called ‘automatic’ check may highlight the possible existence of discrepancies and therefore include a request for adjustment or inform the taxpayer of a larger credit or smaller refund due.
