Why must I upload a withholding slip (gensenchoshuhyo) to apply for a dependent deduction refund?

Brief answer: The withholding slip records payment amount, withheld tax, social insurance premiums, and other items. It is the core basis for calculating the refund difference after adding the dependent deduction.
Detailed explanation
The Correction Request form must state the original tax amount, corrected tax amount, and refund difference—all derived from the withholding slip. Fields such as payment amount, salary income after salary income deduction, and withheld tax amount are essential. Companies issue withholding slips for the prior year between late January and early February. If lost, request a reissue from HR. Uploading a clear, complete scan helps accurate estimates. The tax office may require original copies; follow local requirements.
