Completed my tax online and at the end, there was a pdf with all the supporting documents I need to send.
When I opened it, everything was listed. And I mean everything. Birth certificates. Insurance polices. Everything.
It looks like a generic document that lists every kind of proof anyone might need to provide. Even though it had my name on, the required documents list wasn’t specific to me.
Anyway, they have my phone number. I’m not going to send in mountains of documents that I never provide when I go in person.
you are like my student who told me that he just changes a few words from the sentences in the text book in his homework, like everyone else. His classmates weren’t happy when I checked more closely after that.
I’m guessing this means the birth certificates for your kids you claimed as dependents and insurance policies you claimed deductions for? That doesn’t seem unreasonable…
Don’t you file online with your wife though? I would have expected that to make things easier.
They just ask me for proof of my income, i.e., invoices. I take those to the tax office in person later, when I have time and can be bothered, but file online and pay first so I know what I’m in for.
The system will already have me down as their dad. When I go in to file, I never need to provide that because it is stored on the system.
Concerning the insurance, I used the standard deduction and not the itemized one but they still asked for proof of the individual items which I’m not declaring.
You have to remember that everything on my form apart from my parents wasn’t manually entered, it came from the system. I downloaded it using the health Insurance card and the card reader.
That’s weird. I thought those things got removed (or needed to be removed manually, not sure) if not used in the calculations. It might not have been obvious from the system though.
I seem to remember in previous years being prompted by the software to remove those items when choosing the standard deduction, but I don’t have the screenshots to hand at the moment and cannae be ersed looking for them.
You’ve got me thinking now. Since I already filed, what happens if I go back in and edit? Do I then submit it again? Does the newest automatically override the previous one?
I have completed the online declaration and want to pay my taxes but it seems impossible in my case.
I have tried all the following alternatives:
Pay by financial chip card: Requires some kind of card reader plugged in the computer.
Pay by credit card: My Mastercard from EU bank was not accepted and do not have a credit card at a Taiwanese bank.
Pay by cash: Not in Taiwan (were in Taiwan only 184 days during 2022)
Pay by check: Does only give me a confirmation without any payment methods.
Questions:
It seems that the only viable method according with the options provided would be to pay with credit card. However, it seems that my MasterCard does not work. What type of cards are accapted?
Is it possible to do a international bank transfer in some way? I am confused about the lack of payment methods for foreginers that have left Taiwan.
Basically as long as you don’t get a phone call… Last year when I e-filled early I got it in the latest batch anyway… (the thing about having a different filing system to citizens).
We even have an old clunky UI that the citizens haven’t seen since 2018!

Let me try and ignore for once and see what happens.
