Good day!

Hi, I would like to request a copy of my ITR in year 2021 because my daughter needs it for her scholarship. I understand that it's my fault because my document got soaked in water.

I appreciate your consideration for my request. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Felicilda:

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Oct 03, 2022 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Request copy of Income Tax Return.

Response to your request

In reply, after careful consideration, we resolve to deny your request since it lacks valid proof of identification. If you are an employee, please allow me to ask if you receive a copy of the BIR Form 2316 or Certificate of Compensation Payment/Tax Withheld For Compensation Payment With or Without Tax Withheld from your employer? If the answer is no, please coordinate with your employer and ask for the copy of said form from year 2021. 
 
Please be informed that BIR Form 2316 must be accomplished by an employer for each employee receiving salaries, wages, and other forms of remuneration, indicating the total amount paid and the taxes withheld for the calendar year. It must be issued to the employee on or before Jan. 31 of the succeeding year, or on the day of last payment of wages in case of termination from employment. This certificate, will serve as your ITR being an employee earning purely compensation income regardless of the amount. You are qualified to “Substituted Filing” of ITR pursuant to Revenue Regulation (RR) No. 2-98 as amended. 
 
I hope above information will be of great help in securing the desired copy of your BIR Form 2316. 

Thank you.

Respectfully yours,

FOI Officer
Public Information and Education Division
