Congrats! You have filed your Income Tax Return. 😄 One last thing that you'll need to complete - submit your ITR attachments to the BIR's eAFS submission portal: https://eafs.bir.gov.ph/eafs.

The BIR announced the options that can be used by taxpayers to submit attachments for their 2019 Income Tax Returns through RMC No. 49-2020 and RMC No. 82-2020. Aside from submission in the RDO, the bureau developed the eAFS online portal to make complying easier for the taxpayer.

In this article, we will show you three (3) things:

Let's begin!

We have made some files available for you to download in the Taxumo app. Just follow these simple instructions to download.

Note: Currently, the eAFS module in our platform will only collate attachments for your Annual ITR filing. For your Quarterly ITR filing, the same type of attachments will have to be submitted. You may refer to this guide for the submission of your Quarterly ITR attachments. Soon, you will also be able to download your quarterly attachments so stay tuned!

1. Click on the appropriate form that you wish to download.
2. The form will open in a new browser tab. Click on PRINT on the upper right side of the screen.
3. Select SAVE AS PDF (or a similar option) for the destination and click SAVE. If that option is not available, you may need to download a PDF printer that allows you to Print to PDF. We recommend the free CutePDF Writer. You can see instructions on how to download it below.
4. Your file should then download to your chosen location.

1. Click on the file that you want to download (example: BIR Notification or AAB Payment Confirmation)
2. The file should automatically download to your computer.

Once you've successfully download all of your attachments, you'll have to compile your them into a single file. This is a comprehensive user guide on how you can compile your attachments whether you're using Windows or Mac OS: How to merge your attachments into a single file (Windows or Mac)

When you are done compiling all your attachments into a single file, you'll have to rename these files to the prescribed naming convention of the BIR as listed below:

File #1 - EAFSXXXXXXXXXITRTYMMYYYY / EAFSXXXXXXXXXITR#QMMYYYY

File #2 - EAFSXXXXXXXXXAFSTYMMYYYY

File #3 - EAFSXXXXXXXXXOTHTYMMYYYY

File #4 - EAFSXXXXXXXXXTCRTYMMYYYY-01

where XXXXXXXXX is your 9-digit TIN

where MM is the Month end of the taxable year (if Annual filing) or quarter (if Quarterly filing)

where YYYY is your taxable year

and where 01 - is the first file in the series (File #4)

If you are filing this for for Quarterly Filings, the naming convention changes a bit.

File #1 - EAFSXXXXXXXXXITR#QMMYYYY

File #2 - EAFSXXXXXXXXXAFS#QMMYYYY

File #3 - EAFSXXXXXXXXXOTH#QMMYYYY

File #4 - EAFSXXXXXXXXXTCR#QMMYYYY-01

where XXXXXXXXX is your 9-digit TIN

where #Q is the quarter you're filing for (i.e. 1Q, 2Q, 3Q)

where MM is the Month end of the taxable month

where YYYY is your taxable year

and where 01 - is the first file in the series (applicable for File #4)

Now that you have your files ready, let's go ahead and learn how to submit them to the BIR using eAFS.
