      The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) issued an Advisory on 08 May 2026 providing instructions to taxpayers regarding the delay or non-receipt of system-generated email confirmations for electronically filed tax returns through eBIRForms Package v7.9.6.

      The advisory outlines the possible reasons for such delays or non-receipt.

      In case taxpayers do not receive the system-generated email confirmation from eBIRForms, they are advised to:

      1. Print a copy of the screenshot showing the “Submit Successful” pop-up message and present it as proof of filing, in accordance with Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 20-2026 and Bank Bulletin No. 2026-04. This should be submitted together with a printed copy of the tax return filed through eBIRForms. Taxpayers must then pay electronically via BIR ePay facilities or through Authorized Agent Banks (AABs) for tax returns with tax due. Taxpayers who failed to take the screenshot are advised to proceed directly to electronic payment.
      2. Proceed to the nearest Revenue District Office (RDO) e-lounge to seek assistance in electronically filing tax returns and making payments.
