Request for a copy of ITR 2020

Requested from BIR by M. Sioc at 06:07 PM on Jan 18, 2022.
Purpose: One of the requirements of New Employer
Date of Coverage: 01/01/2020 - 12/31/2020
Tracking no: #BIR-648971522869

Sioc 06:07 PM, Jan 18, 2022 

Hi! I would like to request a copy of my BIR 2316 Form (Certificate of Compensation Payment/Tax Withheld) for the year 2020. This is because it is one of the requirements needed by my new employer. I already requested a copy of my BIR 2316 to my previous employer, but still no response from them since they are all work from home until 2022.

Dear Ms. Sioc,

I refer to my letter of Jan 18, 2022 06:07:51 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Request for a copy of ITR 2020.

In order for us to properly endorse and work further on your request, we need more information from you regarding your query. If you are asking for ITR, kindly provide us with the following details and email them at ana.marie.du@bir.gov.ph. as this contains sensitive information
-What ITR form did you file? 
-Where did you file your ITR, what RDO are you registered with?
-Tax Return Confirmation Receipt (if your ITR were filed online) 

Please be informed that the ITRs that we have in our files are those returns that were filed and paid over-the-counter through our various Accredited Agent Banks; however, for no-payment returns that were filed through our eBIRforms and EFPS system, we do not have the hard copies of these returns on file. 

However, we would also like to suggest that if you know where you filed your ITR, you may directly request it to the concerned RDO, bring the duplicate/xerox copy with you for they may also need to validate and determine if you are the rightful owner of the documents requested as these are sensitive information and are bound by the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and Sec 270 of the NIRC

During the period of us awaiting your reply, your request will be put on hold. If we do not receive a reply on or before Apr 13, 2022 02:22:05 AM, your request will be closed.

We hope to hear from you at the soonest possible time.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Ana Marie Du
FOI Officer
