An email from the Internal Revenue Service (SRI) warned a citizen, Susana, that she had pending income tax declarations. The SRI reviewed its databases and found that she had not submitted her income tax return for the fiscal year 2024. Citizens receiving this notification were given a deadline of ten working days to present their declaration through the online services portal.

The SRI reminded recipients that they do not send messages or emails for accessing alleged refunds, cautioning about potential scams. This emphasis on security underscores the importance of verifying communications to protect against fraud. Susana, who had her access key, logged into the platform and discovered four outstanding obligations spanning three fiscal years: 2021, 2022, and 2024, detailing her overdue income tax returns and personal expense annex.

This situation highlights the accountability measures the SRI employs to ensure taxpayers comply with their obligations, emphasizing the need for citizens to stay informed and proactive about their tax situations. As the deadline approaches, individuals like Susana must navigate their responsibilities to avoid further penalties and maintain good standing with the tax authority.
