Tax refund received! 90% of people forget to claim this "hidden income"

"Ms. Li's bank card suddenly had an extra 3800 yuan last month. After checking the transaction records, she found out that it was the over - paid tax from last year!" Recently, there have been more and more similar posts in the WeChat Moments. It turns out that everyone is quietly handling tax refunds. Today, let's talk about this "hidden income" that many people overlook.

Simply put, a tax refund is to return to you the over - paid tax in the past year. In China, a withholding and prepayment system is implemented. The tax deducted from your monthly salary is just an estimate. During the annual settlement, "more refunds and less supplements" will be carried out according to the actual income.

Key note: The 3 newly added special additional deductions in 2023 are particularly worthy of attention: childcare for children under 3 years old, personal pension deductions, and an increase in the special additional deduction standard for continuing education. Many people can get an additional tax refund of thousands of yuan because of these.

• People with an annual income of less than 60,000 yuan but who have prepaid individual income tax
• Those who have special deductions such as children's education, mortgage, and elderly support but have not declared them
• Freelancers or people with multiple labor remuneration incomes
• Office workers who changed jobs midway last year and caused the tax rate to jump

Now, it only takes 5 steps to handle a tax refund through the "Individual Income Tax APP":

1. Register / log in and enter the "Annual settlement of comprehensive income"
2. Check the income and deduction information pre - filled by the system
3. Supplement and fill in special additional deductions (if any are missing)
4. The system automatically calculates the tax amount to be refunded / supplemented
5. Submit the declaration and bind a bank card for receiving the payment

Key note: The legal handling period is from March 1st to June 30th. Making an appointment before March can avoid system congestion. Zhongshitong Tax Agents remind that the part of medical expenses exceeding 15,000 yuan can also be retrospectively supplemented for declaration.

• Falsely claiming special additional deductions (facing tax supplements + fines)
• Omitting to report comprehensive income such as labor remuneration (may be recovered)
• Mistakenly calculating the annual one - time bonus separately (may pay more tax)
• Forgetting to appeal against the misused employment information

According to statistics from the tax department, about 65% of taxpayers received tax refunds in 2022, with an average tax refund amount of 1980 yuan. Why not open the APP now to check? Maybe there is a "windfall" waiting for you to claim. Friends who have already handled it are welcome to share your tax refund amount and declaration experience in the comment section!
