Hi! Good day! I would like to request for my ITR of the year 2020 to be sent via email. If that's not possible the verification slip will do since it's for my pre employment requirements. Here's my email address cindycerdan361@gmail.com. Hoping to her from you soon!

Dear Ms. Cerdan,
I refer to my letter of July 31, 2021, 11:13:15 AM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for ITR 2020.
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?
- Your TIN (if self-employed)
- If employed, please indicate your employer’s TIN, RDO no., business name & address
- Tax Return Confirmation Receipt (if your ITR were filed online)
Also, kindly provide us your contact number, two government-issued IDs and your selfie picture, as proof of your identity and email it at ana.marie.du@bir.gov.ph.
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. If you have been employed, the 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.
On the otherhand, your request for TIN Verification cannot be counted as a valid FOI request as it is part of the frontline service of the BIR, hence your request is denied.
In this regard, to personally verify your TIN, and for your to be able to get a TIN verification slip, we highly advise you visit the nearest BIR Revenue District Office (RDO) to personally verify your TIN. Please bring any of your government-issued IDs as proof of your identity.
Furthermore, you may also try using the BIR Mobile TIN Verifier App by downloading this link: (https://play.google.com/store/apps./details?id=com.bir.birrr6manila&&hl=en&gl=US) or thru the App Store for IOS users.
Please be reminded that TIN is confidential information that is bounded by the Data Privacy Act of 2012
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 Oct. 25, 2021, 08:16:20 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
