SÃO PAULO, SP (FOLHAPRESS) - At least 500 thousand taxpayers will be left out of the extra batch of Income Tax refunds to be paid by the Federal Revenue on the 15th. The amounts will be deposited to those who received a tax discount in 2024, but did not submit their 2025 declaration.

To receive it, you must be entitled to up to R$1,000 and a Pix key with your CPF number. The batch consultation will open on Wednesday (8).

According to the tax authorities, taxpayers who do not have a Pix key with their CPF number were left out of the automatic batch, called cashback. It is estimated that 87% of those who were entitled to a refund and did not declare will receive it. Of the total, 13% did not have a Pix key and, therefore, were left out of the batch.

The IRS informed that it chose to make deposits only for those who have a Pix key as it considers it risky to make credits to other accounts without this link, but advises all taxpayers in the country to make at least one of the Pix keys using their CPF number.

"The guideline is that everyone links their Pix key to their CPF in an account, to avoid any fraud problems and everything. So the ideal is for every Brazilian to do this", says José Carlos Fonseca, IR's national supervisor.

According to Fonseca, for those who will not be included in this batch, there is no more time. "We have already carried out the verification, the selection of who would be included. One of the rules is to have the Pix CPF key. The rule is that you have not declared in 2025, you are entitled to a refund with a current CPF and you have the Pix key. So, when we did the survey, we already selected these people", he says.

To make the reimbursement, the IRS made the declarations automatically between the 15th and 23rd of June. The tax authorities are studying repeating the operation for the 2026 Income Tax, with declarations referring to 2025. The idea is to produce studies to begin the automatic declaration of income tax for all taxpayers in the future.

According to the tax authorities, many of these taxpayers who will receive the extra batch had never made an Income Tax declaration and were not even aware of the procedure, which is why the automatic declaration was opted for.

To join the batch, taxpayers were selected who were entitled to a refund, did not submit a declaration, have no irregularities in their CPF and have a Pix key registered with their CPF number, which will be used for payment.

From July 8th, a new consultation will be available on the IRS website and app. "On the home page there will be a specific banner for this query, informed the national Income Tax supervisor, José Carlos Fonseca. Citizens should only provide their CPF and date of birth to check if they have been covered.

Anyone who wants to check how the declaration was made can access the document in My Income Tax using a Gov.br account. It will be possible to view the automatically generated declaration, rectify, change and even cancel the payment of amounts, if you do not wish to receive the refund.

REVENUE LAUNCHES DATA PANEL ON INCOME TAX

Information about cashback was given during the presentation of the new Income Tax Data Panel that the IRS is launching. The information should help researchers and people who make public policies to better understand Brazilians and their income.

The average wealth of a Brazilian who declared Income Tax in 2026 is R$409,000 per year, according to data from the tax authorities. It is possible to know values ??by state and profession. It is also possible to find out information about the total number of declarations submitted, how many are simplified and how many are pre-filled, in addition to data on color and race, included in this year's IR. "It is an effort by the Federal Revenue Service and the Ministry of Finance to make this data public for researchers, for public policies, for society to know who the Income Tax declarants are and take advantage of this information for the benefit of everyone", says Fonseca.

WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO AN AUTOMATIC INCOME TAX REFUND?

Taxpayers who had some IR discount in 2024, but who were not obliged to declare Income Tax in 2025 because they had income below the mandatory limit or because they did not fit into any other situation are among those who can receive it. To do this, they need:

- Have had an income tax deduction in 2024 and not declared income tax in 2025 - Have up to R$ 1,000 in refund - Have a Pix key that is the CPF number - Be considered low tax risk

WHAT DOES THE TAXPAYER NEED TO DO TO RECEIVE THE REFUND?

The taxpayer does not need to do anything. The IRS will automatically declare Income Tax from June 15th to 24th. After this period, he can consult the document in My Income Tax, through the Federal Revenue app or website.

If you do not want to receive the amounts, you can cancel the declaration. If you wish, you can also rectify any information that you consider relevant or that is incorrect.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T HAVE A PIX CARD WITH MY CPF NUMBER?

The IRS will not be able to pay the refund to those who do not have a Pix key in their CPF number. According to the tax authorities, it is not possible to search for each taxpayer's account in the banking network. In this case, the citizen will not be able to automatically deposit the amounts. To receive it, however, you can make your own declaration.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY REFUND IS GREATER THAN R$1,000?

Refunds above R$1,000 will not be paid automatically. In this case, to receive the amounts, the citizen must make their own Income Tax declaration, reporting earnings in 2024, deducted amounts, expenses provided for by law, assets and rights. Furthermore, you will have to inform how you want to receive the refund, whether by Pix, if the key is the CPF number, or by bank account.

WHY IS THE FEDERAL REVENUE PAYING THE 2025 REFUND FOR THE YEAR 2024?

The automatic declarations to be generated by the tax authorities this year are part of a pilot project to return the Income Tax deducted from those who should not have paid income tax during the year, but, for some reason, had the tax deducted in a month. If the project is successful, it should be continued in the future.
