Hi! I would want to request a copy of my ITR for the year 2020 because the copy that was issued to us by Dep ed was lost and it is an important document for my daughter's DOST scholarship application to be submitted on october 5.

Dear Ms. LABRADO,

I refer to my letter of Sep 21, 2021 10:07:33 AM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for INCOME TAX RETURN.

In order for us to work further on your request, we need more information from you regarding your query. Kindly provide us the following details:
-	What ITR did you file? Was it 1700 or 1701? 
-	May we know where you filed your ITR, what RDO are you registered with?
-	Tax Return Confirmation Receipt (if your ITR were filed online) 

Furthermore, 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. Your BIR Form 2316 should have been issued to you by your employer as it is mandated by law that every employer shall issue BIR Form No. 2316 to every employee before the close of such calendar year, or if employment is terminated, on the day on which the last payment of compensation is made. This should be filed as an attachment to your ITR.

For your 2020 ITR, please be informed that if you have been employed, and as an employee whose income tax has been correctly withheld by his employer, is not required to file an income tax return provided that such individual has only one employer and has been qualified for substituted filing for the taxable year - the Certificate of Withholding filed by the respective employers, duly stamped "Received" by the Bureau, shall be tantamount to the filing of income tax returns by said employees.

On the other hand, the documentary requirements needed for the Processing of Application for Certificate of Exemption for Scholarship and Job/Livelihood Programs can be viewed here:

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 Dec 14, 2021 03:57:03 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
