TAX DATE 2022. There are only a few hours left to complete your tax return. Which departments concerned? Online or paper? We take stock.
[Mis à jour le 31 mai 2022 à 16h01] The second deadline for this 2022 declarative campaign is fast approaching. This Tuesday, May 31, from midnight, it will be too late to complete your tax return. And in case of delay, a surcharge will be applied to the total amount of income tax due in the summer. Very bad news, so don’t waste any more time, go to the taxes and take a few moments to complete your declaration correctly, check all the information pre-filled by the tax authorities, and finally send your declaration. As a reminder, this procedure is mandatory, despite the introduction of the withholding tax in 2019. But then, who is concerned by this deadline of May 31? Here are the two categories of taxpayers who must now hurry:
- Taxpayers who declared their income to the paper format. All departments are concerned without exception. The paper tax return generally concerns certain elderly people, and taxpayers who do not have a sufficient internet connection to complete it online.
- Taxpayers who declared their online income and who reside in one of the departments concerned. This Tuesday, May 31, you are concerned if you live in the departments between the Corsica (2A and 2B) and the Meurthe-et-Moselle (54).
Taxpayers who use the paper form have up to May 31, 2022, at midnight, to submit their income tax return, postmarked, regardless of their place of residence. The deadline is therefore the same for everyone. As a reminder, only taxpayers who do not have Internet access or who do not have the capacity to use digital tools can still use the paper form. Internet tax filing is now mandatory.
To declare online, you must connect to your private space with your tax number and your password. If you do not yet have a password, enter your tax number, your online access number and your reference tax income. You will find these identifiers on the tax return received in April (tax number and online access number) and on the tax notice received in August N-1 (reference tax income).
If you have forgotten your tax number or your password, on the authentication screen, the procedures allow you to recover your identifiers.
Once authenticated, select the “Declare my income” service. Your online declaration will be pre-filled with information known to the administration. All you have to do is verify your marital status, your address and the pre-filled amounts. You can correct them if necessary. Then, you will complete the other income you have received and the charges, reductions or tax credits to which you are entitled. Don’t forget to sign your online declaration for it to be taken into account.
The deadline for online taxes on impots.gouv.fr depends exclusively on your department number. In total, three zones have been determined by the tax authorities. Here are the deadlines that applied this year:
