Haven’t received an IR refund and are not on the remaining list? Check to see if it has fallen through the fine mesh

Haven’t received an IR refund and are not on the remaining list? Check to see if it has fallen through the fine mesh


The taxpayer will not receive the refund while the network analyzes his return




This Thursday, 24, the Federal Revenue Agency published a consultation on the first remaining batch of 2024 income tax, which will begin to be paid on October 31. If you are not on this list, there is still a chance of appearing in the next three remaining batches, which will end payments in January 2025. But, if your name is not on any of the lists, there is a chance that you are fell through the cracks.

You don’t have to wait for all the IR reimbursement lists to be published to know whether or not you’ve been included in the scheme. The query can be made via the Revenue app. In the system you can consult pending issues and check the reason for them. Just log in and click on the “Mesh Pending” service.

What is fine mesh?

When you submit your tax return, it is analyzed by federal revenue systems. The information you report is checked and compared to information provided by other entities that file returns with the IRS, such as businesses, financial institutions, health plans, and others.

Falling into the tax loop (“fine mesh”) doesn’t mean your return is wrong, but you may have to prove some reported information.

If any difference is found between the information declared by you and the information submitted by other entities, your declaration will be separated for further analysis. This is what is called the fiscal mesh, or “fine mesh,” as it is popularly known.

You will not receive your refund while your statement is being analyzed by the network.

When you fall into the trap, the taxpayer may receive a tax subpoena from the Federal Revenue Service. There it will contain guidelines on which documents need to be submitted.

However, it is possible to consult pending matters even without a subpoena and to correct the information through a corrective declaration. Once the outstanding issues are resolved, your statement will leave the network as soon as the correction statement is processed.

If everything is ok, but the declaration is still in progress, starting from the year following the financial year, you can submit the documents proving the declared data in advance, following the steps of this service.

The Revenue Agency underlines that, in the amending declaration, it is necessary to send all the documents and not just those relating to pending matters.

The rectification can be made via the same gov.br, in this link.
