Update: Current version of eBIRForms Offline Package is v7.6.1. Click here to download this latest version.
In June 2015, the Offline eBIRForms Package v5.0 was made available to the public/taxpayers fixing certain bugs on submission from the previous versions. And now, a new version, v6.0 is out!
The Electronic BIR Forms (eBIRForms) was developed primarily to provide taxpayers with an alternative mode of preparing and filing tax returns that is easier and more convenient. The use of eBIRForms by taxpayers will improve the BIR’s tax return data capture and storage thereby enhancing efficiency and accuracy in the filing of tax returns. Taxpayers and tax agents can fill up tax returns offline and submit it to the BIR through the Online eBIRForms System.

our network is behind firewall. What IP address and port should be allowed?

Sir, why is it that I cannot put the "negative sign" for net loss from previous quarter on item no. 35 of 1701Q? Thanks!
What are the system requirements of ebirforms offline?
For downloading, any browser should work.
What internet browser should I use for downloading this version? Thanks!
Tried using google chrome for enrolling? It worked perfectly fine for us.
I also tried installing mozillla to fix the error but the ebirforms don't work there.
I already know how to submit the ebirform but i do not know how to fix the error when signing up for the ebirform system in relation to the telephone number since it says the number of characters i type are more than the characters required.
Help I have updated to the 5.1 version but the submit button and the final copy button are inactive, what do I do? And how can I create a user in the ebirsystem if its down? I would also like to know if I was supposed to send emails to confirm that I filed my taxes?
We don't use proxy server on our network here, Final Copy in v5.0 is working fine.
Download a jobaid. There is direction on how to set proxy there. Is your network being regulated by a network admin? You may need to consider working with them.
It's working and can be filed smoothly. Click the "ATC" so you can fill out fields after No. 13.
Can't file through Final Copy after upgrade, it always saying no internet connection, slow connection, overly restrictive firewall, we have a dsl connection and i already off firewall but still no luck thanks
Hi, is the 2551M form fillable? In my end, number 14-15 questions are not displaying in the eBIRForms software. I'm using the latest by the way, and his was a problem for me from earlier versions. I can only submit the 1701Q because it has all the fields needed.
Tina Bautista Click submit or final copy and then you will undergo a series of steps until you finally submit it through that medium. Usually, it will lead you to log-in to your eBIRForms online and generate the FRN from there. No need to manually send an e-mail. Of course, you will know that it's sucessful when you receive an e-mail confirmation that your return is successfully filed.
Philippine Accounting Updates so if i click submit and final button it's done already? no need to send email? ty
Did you send it through e-mail? E-mail submission is no longer allowed. You need to submit it through eBIRForms, using either submit or final copy button.
This tax return submission channel is now unavailable and your submitted tax return will
be disregarded. Please download the eBIRForms Package v.5 and follow the procedures per
RMC No. 31-2015 to submit your tax returns < what does it means?i'd already downloaded the version 5 but still that message appears. Hope to hear from you soon
What doo you want to do? They're blank because you supposedly fill those up. 🙂
What program can you not access? the offline application or the online form?
i registered a new client using v 5.1. RDO code is blank and ATC in form 0605 is also blank. pls help. thank you
I have version 5.0 installed in my laptop but when I updated the version I cannot accessed it anymore. Help!
You can reset your password. Many has done that already and it worked!
I am a registered e-bir forms user but when I upgraded to v5.1, I am unable to log-in/submit using my registered username and password. Error message shows I entered an invalid username and/or password
