Once the regular application period held every May ends safely, the National Tax Service enters full-scale review work based on the income and asset data submitted by applicants. When and how will my review proceed, and when can I expect to receive the final results?

1. Strict National Tax Service Income and Asset Review Period (June to Late August) ⏱️

Review Process: For about 3 months starting from June, immediately after the application deadline in May, the National Tax Service cross-verifies the applicant households’ income requirements (earned, business, religious income, etc.) and total asset amounts (real estate, automobiles, financial assets, etc., under 345 million won) through computer systems and local government-linked data.
Submission of Supplemental Documents: If there are any missing items in the income or asset data that require verification, the National Tax Service may send a notification text message or contact you. Therefore, it is safe to check your text messages frequently during this period while paying attention to spam blocking.

1. Final Review Result Announcement and Confirmation Timing (Late August to Early September) 📅

Result Announcement Timing: The period when final recipients are confirmed through a strict review process is typically between late August and early September every year.
Decision Notification Method: Once the review is completed, a ‘National Tax Service Earned/Child Tax Credit Decision Notice’ is sent via KakaoTalk alimtalk or text message, and you can directly log in to the Hometax or Sontax app to check detailed review details and payment amounts in real time.
As it goes through the National Tax Service’s meticulous verification, it takes some time, but from late August, it is a good idea to keep an eye on the Hometax inquiry window.
Then, what is the specific way to check my review results most easily and quickly through Hometax and Sontax? Let’s take a closer look in the next chapter!

I will walk you through the core 3-step method to easily and quickly check the Earned Income Tax Credit review results via PC and smartphone!
Step 1: Launch and log in to the official National Tax Service Hometax website or ‘Sontax’ app 📱
Access and Login: When searching on a PC, access the official National Tax Service Hometax website, and on your smartphone, launch the ‘National Tax Service Sontax’ app.
Utilizing Simple Authentication: Quickly complete your login through simple authentication (Kakao, Naver, Toss, PASS, etc.) that you frequently use, without complicated ID or official certificate procedures.
Step 2: Enter the ‘Subsidy/Year-end Tax Settlement/Jeonse Deposit Return’ menu and review history inquiry 🔍
Click or touch the [Subsidy/Year-end Tax Settlement/Jeonse Deposit Return] tab on the main screen or top menu bar of Hometax (or Sontax).
Select and enter the [Earned/Child Tax Credit Regular Application] or [Review History Inquiry] corner among the sub-items of the menu.
Step 3: Check processing status and final decision through [Earned/Child Tax Credit Review History Inquiry] ✅
Select the application year (e.g., 2026 regular application) and press the inquiry button, and your current review progress will appear in real time.
It is displayed in the Under Review ➔ Review Complete (Payment Decision) stage, and you can see the detailed breakdown of how much the final payment amount has been confirmed to be with your own eyes.

Expected Payment Date and Account Deposit Confirmation Procedure 💳

📋 [Body Draft] Expected Payment Date and Account Deposit Confirmation Procedure 💳
If the Earned Income Tax Credit review has finally been completed in the ‘payment decision’ status via Hometax or Sontax, it is time to look at the timing when the subsidy you have been eagerly awaiting is actually deposited into your account and the deposit confirmation process!

1. Bulk Payment Timing for Approved Households (Concentrated Payment Around Chuseok) 📅

Payment Schedule: The subsidies for which the National Tax Service’s regular application review has been completed and a final payment decision has been made are typically paid in bulk to recipients nationwide from late August to at latest early September (around the Chuseok holiday).
People’s Livelihood Support Before Chuseok: As it is executed promptly in line with the period when household expenditures increase ahead of every holiday, most eligible recipients safely receive their subsidies by early September.

1. Account Deposit Process under Your Name Registered During Application 💰

Funds are transferred directly by the National Tax Service to the refund account under your own name (or Post Office receipt guidance if cash receipt was applied for) entered when processing the regular application in May.
Once the deposit is completed, a separate deposit notification text message or KakaoTalk alimtalk is sent, and you can finally check whether the deposit name was normally made as ‘National Tax Service’ or ‘Earned Income Tax Credit’ via your bank app.

1. Account Status Check Tips to Prevent Delays 🔍

If the deposit is not made even though the deadline has passed, you should check whether the account number was incorrectly entered in the Hometax application details or if normal transfer is impossible due to reasons such as seizure.
If an account error occurs, you can receive a re-payment process within a short period by filing a refund account change report on Hometax.
Have you thoroughly grasped even the expected payment date and deposit process? Before safely receiving your subsidy, it is even more perfect to check the precautions that you must never miss during the review result inquiry and payment process. Let’s take a look in the next chapter!

Important Precautions to Keep in Mind When Checking Review Results ⚠️

📋 [Body Draft] Important Precautions to Keep in Mind When Checking Review Results ⚠️
In the process of checking review results and waiting to receive subsidies after the Earned Income Tax Credit regular application, there are a few key precautions that, if you are careless, can lead to embarrassing situations. Let me point out 3 precautions you must know for a successful receipt!

1. Beware of Official National Tax Service Alimtalk and Spam Messages 📱

When review results are finalized or submission of supplementary documents is required, the National Tax Service sends KakaoTalk alimtalk or official text messages.
Since there are many smishing (text message fraud) damages impersonating government subsidies recently, it is important to check the sender number before clicking the link and have the habit of directly accessing the safe Hometax/Sontax app to check the contents.

1. Understanding the Objection (Appeal) Procedure in Case of Disqualification ❌

If you receive a ‘disqualified (payment excluded)’ judgment because you slightly exceeded the income criteria or total asset amount (under 345 million won) criteria as a result of the review, you should analyze the cause immediately rather than just being disappointed.
If you have an objection to the review result, you can file an objection (appeal) with the jurisdictional tax office within 90 days from the date you received the notice and resubmit explanation materials.

1. Prevention of Refund Account Seizure and Change Report 💳

If the recipient’s scheduled account is in a state where normal deposit is impossible due to bond seizure or the like, payment may be withheld.
If you belatedly find out that there is a problem with your account or that you entered the number incorrectly, you must immediately modify it to a safe account under your own name through the Hometax [Open (Change) Refund Account Report] menu so that you can receive your subsidy without delay.
