Dear Mr. Morales,

I refer to my letter of Oct 14, 2021 02:11:01 PM about your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Income Tax Return Form 2316.

Kindly clarify from your new employer if what they are asking from you are the past years as maybe what they were asking from you is for the current year for them to do the year-end adjustment. Your new employer will take into consideration your income from previous employment and your tax liability will be based on your total income for the year.

Please be informed that your BIR Form 2316 should have been issued to you by your previous employer, If there is any, 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 on the day on which the last payment of compensation is made.

For the ITR, kindly provide us the following details and email it at ana.marie.du@bir.gov.ph as these are sensitive information:
-	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)
-	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.

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 Jan 06, 2022 07:58:52 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
