The National Institute of Social Security (INSS) in Brazil has made the income report for the 2026 Income Tax available to retirees, pensioners, and other beneficiaries of social security who received benefits in the previous year. This document is essential for those who need to file their income tax declarations or for those who will be listed as dependents in the tax filings of spouses, children, or grandchildren.

According to Brazilian law, companies and public agencies are required to provide the annual tax statement by the last working day of February. Failure to comply with this deadline, which falls on the upcoming Friday (February 27 this year), can result in penalties for the respective organizations. The timely provision of this document is crucial to ensure that beneficiaries can accurately report their income to the tax authorities without delays or complications.

Accessing the INSS income report can be done through the Meu INSS app or website, requiring a login via the Gov.br portal. Users must enter their CPF (Brazilian individual taxpayer registry identification) and password to obtain their income reports. This process emphasizes the importance of digital access to social security documentation, enabling beneficiaries to efficiently manage their tax responsibilities in the face of government regulations.
