According to the IRS, the 2025 Income Tax Declaration period began on March 17 and runs until May 30
The 2025 Income Tax Declaration period began on March 17. This year, the deadline runs until May 30, and the IRS is expected to be 46.2 million people to submit the statement.
At the time of income tax return, one of the points of attention is the deductions provided for by law. Wrong information can lead to loss of tax benefits or problems with the fine mesh.
There are 2 deduction models: simplified discount and legal deductions.
“The complete statement is ideal for people who have many deductible expenses in health, education, private pension and dependents. It allows detail all expenses. In the simplified statement, it already applies the standard discount of 20%, without the need to prove my expenses. It is suitable for people who have little deductible expense.”says Professor Gilder Daniel Torres, from the Anhanguera College Accounting Course.
In the simplified discount, the tax payer chooses the modality and the IRS already applies the discount. In the case of choosing legal deductions, some expenses may help the person pay less tax or even return.
“Speech to doctors, dentists, psychologists, hospitals, health plan, exams, can be deducted without limits, provided that they are proven, both taxpayers and their dependents. Education, which are spending on school tuition, colleges and technical courses.says Professor Ahiram Cardoso, from Unime’s Accounting Sciences course.
According to IRS data, 56% of the statements sent last year were in the simplified model, while 44% were sent in the model for legal deductions.
Who can be declared as an IRPF dependent?
For those who are up to the household, the dependent statement is one of the best ways to get a discount when delivering income tax. By 2025, the IRS guarantees a fixed discount of R $ 2,275.08 for each dependent.
In addition, it is possible to deduct income tax amounts by declaring some expenses with them.
Professor Marco Aurélio Pitta, from the Positivo University, says that the tax payer can consider spouse or even the partner.
“In the case of their partner, it has to be with whom the taxpayer has a child, or if he has no child, who has been living for more than five years with this companion. It is also very common to declare dependents as children or stepchildren. In such cases, we have situations up to 21 years or 24 years, if he is attending higher education or technical education, or any age, if there is any physical or mental disability for work.”declares.
The citizen can also declare brothers, grandchildren, great -grandchildren, or even parents, grandparents or great -grandparents, or even poor, or absolutely incapable person if he is a tutor or healer.
A person cannot be included as dependent on more than one statement. The omission of income from dependents can make the tax payer fall into the fine mesh.
