For this post, I will be sharing how to submit your income tax e-Filing.
I submitted my 2008 income tax through e-Filing on 20th April 2009.
That’s 5 days delayed from my 2009 financial goals. Anyway, I am glad I submitted my 2008 income tax before the due date.
If you are still working on your 2008 income tax, I suggest you use e-Filing. Although e-Filing has its own advantages and disadvantages, I still prefer e-Filing as It’s faster and more convenient.
Preparation for IRB income tax e-Filing
Before you start your e-Filing project, make sure you have got the following ready:
- Your pin number for e-Filing. You can find the pin number on the hardcopy of your income tax form. Alternatively, you can easily reset the pin number yourself or you can go to the nearest IRB office to get your e-Filing pin number.
- Your EA form from your employers. If you have more than one employer for 2008, you’ll need to contact your employers to get all the EA forms.
- Your 2008 insurance premium statement from your insurance company.
- Other important official receipts which you will need for tax relief.
- A calculator for you to help you with your calculations.
After you’ve got the above ready, follow my sharing below.
How to submit IRB income tax e-Filing?
Then, go to the IRB website and look for its e-Filing.
It will be a good idea if you can read through some of the details such as:
At least you have a rough idea of the e-Filing features.
Once you’ve logged in, just fill in the details accordingly and remember to save all the details before moving to the next page.
Before you decided to click the Submit button, make sure you double-check all the details.
Once you submitted your tax details, don’t forget to print the acknowledgement receipt and a copy of your income tax form for your records.
Do keep together with the rest of tax-related details such as your EA form, insurance premium statement and related official receipts.
And most importantly, if you have a payable income tax, don’t forget to pay your tax.
Final thoughts
In summary, I would strongly suggest you use e-Filing to file your yearly income tax.
Because it is much more convenient, easy and the whole process is faster too compare to submitting through hardcopy.
Lastly, enjoy your e-Filing submission and must remember to submit latest by 30 April 2009.
How do I e-file if I had different employers in a year? Do I submit once but with different No Majikan? Or do I need to submit them separately ; ie twice for each employer? Thanks
Hi Anonymous, as for me, I combine the income from both employment and I use the current or the employer as at 31 Dec 2008. Hope it helps.
I still advise, for more information and details, do contact LHDN @ IRB at 1300883010, or just pay them a visit at LHDN @ IRB offices.
