I will fill up the figure on it

[Winwin2011]

When I receive the signed tax return from you, I will fill up the figure on it.

Is it correct to leave out "on it"?

I need some context to make any sense of that sentence.

Whatever it means, I don't think "fill up" is the phrasal verb you need.

The OP is looking for a verb to mean 'enter an amount' (of money) in the relevant part of an incomplete but already signed tax form.

Perhaps:

I will enter the amounts in the proper places.

(Signing a form before it has been completed is backwards.)

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, mailing services has been impacted. In order to speed up the mailing time, I would like to courier a income tax return (blank form) to a client for signature first because some of the information is not available at the present moment. When I receive the signed tax return from the client, I will fill out the amounts on it.

In relation to the above context , I would like to talk to the client as follows:-

When I receive the signed tax return from you, I will fill in the (figure) amounts on it.

I wonder if the above sentence is grammatical correct. Is "figure" incorrect in the above sentence?

I will fill in/insert the figure (figure for what? taxable income?). I think "on it" is understood and optional.

Perhaps:

I will enter the amounts in the proper places.

(Signing a form before it has been completed is backwards.)

If I fill in the amount by typewriter/handwriting, can I use "enter"?

 

[Tarheel]

Yes.

That context would have been useful (and attracted quicker answers) as the preamble to post #1, which was incomprehensible without it.

As Ted said, leave out 'on it'.
