The consultation for the second batch of Personal Income Tax (IRPF) refunds for June 2026 will be opened by the Federal Revenue Service this Tuesday (23), starting at 9 am. The amounts will be credited to the beneficiaries’ accounts on June 30th.
With a total amount of R$16 billion allocated to 9.58 million taxpayers, this stands out as the largest batch of refunds ever recorded in terms of number of people covered. The total amount released corresponds exactly to that of the first batch of 2026, which was paid in May. The significant number of beneficiaries in this batch is driven, in part, by the priority given to pre-filled declarations and the option of receiving via Pix, speeding up processing for a record number of taxpayers.
Adding the first two Income Tax payments of 2026, approximately 18.3 million taxpayers benefited, totaling a disbursement of R$32 billion. This volume represents around 80% of the refunds estimated for the year, according to information from the Federal Revenue Service.
Who receives the refund in this batch
Payment for this second group of taxpayers is scheduled for June 30th. Of this total, R$4.49 billion will be directed to citizens with priority established by law, distributed into specific categories.
Legal priorities include 155,060 refunds for people over 80 years of age, 1,106,923 for seniors aged 60 to 79, and 106,294 for individuals with a physical or mental disability, or who have a serious illness. There are also 507,768 refunds for taxpayers whose main source of income comes from teaching.
Additionally, 7,709,752 refunds will benefit taxpayers who secured priority by opting for the pre-filled declaration or receiving the refund via Pix. The Federal Revenue clarifies that there will be no payments to taxpayers without these priorities in this specific batch.
IR 2026 refund payment dates
Payments of Personal Income Tax (IRPF) refunds for the year 2026 will be processed in four stages, according to the calendar published by the Federal Revenue Service.
- 1st batch: May 29th
- 2nd batch: June 30th
- 3rd batch: July 31st
- 4th batch: August 28th
Steps to consult the refund
Interested taxpayers can check whether they were included in this batch directly on the Federal Revenue website. To do this, simply access the “My Income Tax” section and then select the “Consult Refund” option.
The platform offers detailed guidance and several service channels, allowing both a simplified consultation and a complete analysis of the declaration status, accessing the processing statement through e-CAC. If any pending issues are identified in the declaration, the taxpayer will have the opportunity to rectify it, correcting the necessary information.
In addition, the IRS provides an application compatible with tablets and smartphones. Through it, it is possible to consult directly in the Revenue databases information about the release of IRPF refunds and the registration status of a CPF.
In an official statement, the Tax Authority reiterates its commitment to paying refunds exclusively to a bank account held by the taxpayer. It is essential to highlight that the Revenue’s security protocols can block the payment if there are errors in the bank details provided or any problem with the destination account.
To avoid losses to taxpayers, the IRS offers a credit rescheduling service, which can be carried out by Banco do Brasil within one year after the first payment attempt. This way, the taxpayer can correct the bank details for an account they own.
In this situation, the citizen can reschedule the credit of the amounts through the BB Portal, or contact the BB Relationship Center using the following telephone numbers:
- 4004-0001 (for capitals)
- 0800-729-0001 (for other locations)
- 0800-729-0088 (exclusive number for people with hearing impairment)
When using this service, the taxpayer must have the exact refund amount and the declaration receipt number on hand. After providing this information, simply wait for a new credit attempt. If the refund is not redeemed within one year, the taxpayer will need to make a specific request through the e-CAC Portal.
Understand the fine mesh
When checking your refund, the taxpayer can also find out if your declaration has any pending issues that prevent you from receiving the amount, that is, if it was retained in the so-called “fine mesh”.
To check the status of their Income Tax declaration, the taxpayer must access the Federal Revenue Service’s Virtual Taxpayer Assistance Center (e-CAC) online.
Access to the system is via the gov.br account, requiring the security level to be Silver or Gold.
Within the service, the taxpayer must navigate to the “Declarations and Statements” section.
Then, you need to search for “My Income Tax” and consult the declaration for the year 2026.
The Tax Authority will display the status of the declaration, indicating:
- If the declaration has been processed, which means a regular situation;
- If there are pending issues, signaling that the declaration was retained in the fine mesh.
If there are pending issues, this indicates that the declaration was retained by the lion’s fine mesh, a process that occurs when there are discrepancies between the data provided by the taxpayer and those that the Tax Authorities have.
This inconsistency may arise from incorrect information provided by the taxpayer himself, by the employing company (paying source) or even by third parties, such as service providers.
When accessing the Virtual Service Center, the Federal Revenue Service will detail the discrepancy that led to the declaration being retained in the fine mesh, in addition to providing guidance on how to resolve the problem.
If the error is the taxpayer’s own, the solution is to send a rectifying statement to correct the information. Once the correction is processed, the statement is released from the fine mesh.
In the scenario where the failure was due to the paying source or a service provider — whose information the taxpayer included in the declaration —, it will be necessary to wait for these entities to rectify the data.
