There was a rumor that they would remove the Circle check box from the Juminzei section on Page 2 of the Form, that says 自分で納付, so the taxation method used would automatically be notified to the Prefecture and Municipal Tax Offices, but finally, they did not, and this option is still on the form for 2023 and 2024...
I do not have personal experience of having used this option to select the taxation method, but I think that the box which has been removed is probably the one which used to be to the left of the one which says 自分で納付. I think that the box 自分で納付 has more to do with how the resident tax is paid, rather than the method by which the tax is levied?

Here is the page two 住民税・事業税に関する事項 box from kakuteishinkokusho 2022
