Receita Federal Tax App: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to use the Receita Federal app to access pre-filled tax returns and track your filing status in Brazil.

This mobile application is a digital tool designed to help you manage your annual tax returns more easily.

Who it's for

This tool is for taxpayers who are required to file their annual tax returns.

What you get

The app provides pre-filled tax returns, which saves you time by automatically importing your data. You can also use it to track the current status of your tax filing.

What it costs you

The app is free to use, but you must have a Gov.br account to access its features.

The catch to know

If you omit any income or fail to declare all your earnings, you may end up in the 'malha fina', which is a tax audit process. It is important to declare everything accurately to avoid this.

How to apply

  1. Download the official app on your mobile device.
  2. Log in using your Gov.br credentials.
  3. Review your pre-filled information for accuracy.
  4. Submit your return through the app or the official portal.
