On the Ministry of Finance Information Portal, readers reflected: On April 21, 2025, readers submitted personal income tax finalization dossiers for 2024. However, after 3 times of submitting supplementary dossiers, her procedures have not been resolved with some problems.
Readers said there was a discrepancy in information about dependents. She registered 2 dependents from 2022 and the full information of both dependents was displayed on the electronic tax account.
However, when carrying out tax refund dossiers, the tax authority notifies that the system only records 1 dependent person.
She has provided sufficient documents proving the 2 dependents but has not received a response related to the submitted documents.
In addition, she also reflected on the difference in deductions for dependents. In 2024, she changed 5 workplaces.
At some companies, she only worked for 1 month of probation and then quit, was not socially insured and was not entitled to deductions for these months.
She requested the tax authority to answer whether months that have not been calculated for deductions are calculated when tax finalization is carried out and what procedures need to be carried out to be resolved.
