The eBIRForm tax return: Are you still confused?

It’s crunch time for taxpayers as the April 15 deadline looms. At such a critical juncture, no one can afford to have his tax return rejected because of failure to properly use the electronic Bureau of Internal Revenue Forms (eBIRForm).
It appears that, up to this point, the guidelines for filing income tax returns (ITR) for calendar year 2014 are still not crystal clear to many taxpayers. Although the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has released issuances and publications about the eBIRForms package, the rules and information provided can be confusing especially as the guidelines are frequently amended.
