       b. The enhanced forms are not yet available in eFPS; 
       c. Unavailability of BIR-eFPS covered by duly released advisory; or

           Development Bank of the Philippines’ (DBP) Pay Tax Online (for holders of
            Visa/Mastercard Credit Card and/or BancNet ATM/Debit Card)

             regardless of the amount. Provided that, the check shall be made payable to “Bureau of                Internal Revenue”.
        “No Payment AITRs” shall be filed electronically through the eBIRForms. However, the following taxpayers may manually file their “No Payment AITRs” with the RDO in three (3) copies using the electronic or computer-generated returns or photocopied returns in its original format and in legal/folio size bond paper:
           a. Senior Citizen (SC) or Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) filing for their own
               returns;
           b. Employees deriving purely compensation income from two or more employers, 
               concurrently or successively at any time during the taxable year, or from a single
