Last minute Income Tax: simplified step by step

Those who have not yet declared Income Tax (IR) 2026 should prioritize organization and agility. The deadline for submission is May 29th and leaving it until the last few days increases the risk of errors, system instability and late fines. The IRS provides tools that make filling out faster, including pre-filled declarations and sending them via cell phone or computer.

The first step is to gather the main documents and, with everything separated, the process becomes simpler and reduces the chances of inconsistencies that could lead to the declaration being derailed.

It is important to remember that investments, such as shares, CDBs, LCIs, LCAs, funds and Tesouro Direto, need to be correctly declared in the assets and rights form. Inter's blog has practical content on this topic. Visit and check it out.

What happens if you miss the deadline?
Anyone who does not submit the declaration by May 29th is subject to a fine of 1% per month on the tax due, limited to 20% of the total amount. Even without tax to pay, there is a minimum fine of R$165.74. In addition to the financial penalty, the taxpayer may face:

- CPF pending regularization
- Difficulty in obtaining loans and financing
- Restrictions for issuing passports
- Greater risk of falling into the thin net

After sending, is it possible to correct the declaration?
Yes. If the taxpayer identifies any inconsistency after submitting the information, it is possible to make a rectifying declaration through the Revenue system, without the need to pay a new fine, as long as there is no ongoing inspection.
