Warning

Outdated. Get the latest version instead. This version cannot update itself. On a Mac, Submit and BIR's messages silently do nothing, so validation errors are hidden. On every computer, this version never sends anything to BIR, even when Submit says it will send later: a return made here is not filed. To file, print it and file at your bank or RDO, or open the saved file in BIR's own eBIRForms app on Windows and submit it there.

BIR's Offline eBIRForms Package, rebuilt to run on Windows, macOS and Linux. Fill in, save and print BIR's 84
forms offline. The saved files are the same as BIR's own app makes. This app is free and not affiliated with BIR.

You only do this once. On macOS 12 to 14, you can instead right-click eBIRForms in Applications and choose Open.

Linux

  • .deb (Ubuntu, Debian, Mint): in a terminal, in the folder you downloaded it to, run
    sudo apt install ./Offline_eBIRForms_Package_*_Linux_amd64.deb. Then open eBIRForms from your app list.

  • .AppImage (any distribution): right-click the file and open Properties. Turn on Executable as
    Program     (Ubuntu 24.04 and later). On Ubuntu 22.04, open the Permissions tab and tick Allow executing file
    as program    . Or run chmod +x on it. Then double-click it.
