Check the status of the IRS tax return.

To access the current status of your income tax return, you must first log in to the Finance Portal with your information.

Next, search for "Consultar declaração IRS", select "IRS > Consultar Declaração", choose the respective year (2023) and click on "Pesquisar". You can access the status of your tax return, usually, two days after submitting the declaration.

Interpret each state of the IRS statement

After being submitted by the taxpayer, the IRS declaration will go through several stages that will appear in the consultation.

Each state aims to inform you at what point the validation of your declaration is, as there may be errors or doubts from the Tax Office. If not, the process proceeds normally starting with the "Correct Declaration."

Correct statement

If there are no central errors, your IRS statement is considered correct, as it has been validated and ready to be settled.

It is a transitional state that, in a normal process and without replacing the declaration, will pass directly to the refund.

→ Declaration with anomalies

If your statement presents this status, the Tax Authority (AT) explains that it is because information entered in the statement has been verified with values or other references that the AT could not validate.

When these central errors are detected, they must be corrected within a maximum period of 30 days by submitting a new replacement declaration.

Replaced statement.

This status means that you have submitted a replacement statement for this one, so it will not be reviewed as there is a more recent one submitted for processing.

→ Declaration with refund

This status means that only the issuance of the settlement of the declaration is missing.

Unredeemable statement

A statement in this state has no effect, but you can claim self-settlement. This can happen when replacement declarations are filed outside the legal deadline.

Processed liquidation.

The statement in liquidation state processed follows the correct statement, after the tax accounts have been settled, resulting in either an IRS refund or a payment that needs to be made to settle the tax.

Refund issued

The issued refund status implies that there are no discrepancies or tax debts in your IRS return, so you move to this status as soon as the AT indicates that payment can proceed.

Payment confirmed.

After payment is made (by sending a check or transfer), the status changes to - payment confirmed. From here, you receive the refund in a few days. The same happens in case of having to pay additional tax, and a payment note is sent so that you can settle the tax.
