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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

    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
