Use of old BIR Forms 1604CF and 1604E

(Revenue Memorandum Circular No. 18-2020, February 28, 2020)

This Tax Alert is issued to inform all concerned on the use of old BIR Forms 1604CF and 1604E and existing Alphalist Data Entry and Validation Module (Version 6.1).

The electronic formats of BIR Forms 1604C, 1604F and 1604E are not yet available in the Electronic Filing and Payment System (eFPS) and electronic Bureau of Internal Revenue Forms (eBIRForms). Hence, the old BIR Form 1604CF and 1604-E shall be used in online filing. Accordingly, the alphalists of these returns shall be prepared and validated in accordance with the existing Alphalist Data Entry and Validation Module (Version 6.1).

The resubmission of alphalists following the future release of an enhanced Alphalist Data Entry and Validation Module shall not be required. The submitted alphalist in the old format is sufficient.
