2022 tax declaration date online paper form Check the deadlines

TAX DEADLINE 2022. Completing your tax return is an obligation, respecting the deadlines as well. Here is the complete calendar, for an online or paper declaration.

[Mis à jour le 20 avril 2022 à 08h04] You have not yet completed your tax return on income received in 2021 and you want to know the timetable so as not to be caught off guard? Good idea, all the information is available in this dedicated article. Indeed, whether you opt for an online tax return (like the vast majority of taxpayers) or for a paper return via one of the forms offered if you do not have a sufficient internet connection, filing your tax claim is mandatory. The introduction of the withholding tax in 2019 does not in any way exempt you from it. So, what are the deadlines to meet in 2022 to complete your tax return and return it to the tax authorities? Here is the full schedule:

  • Departments (01) to (19) and non-residents: May 24, 2022
  • Departments (20) to (54) and Corsica: May 31, 2022
  • Departments (55) to 974/976: June 8, 2022
  • Paper tax return: May 19, 2022 (all departments)

Note that this declaration campaign can also allow you to regularize your situation with the tax authorities. Here, two solutions are available to you after completing your return, obtaining a refund because you were not taxable in 2021 or over a period of the year. Or else, settle an income tax balance. This balance corresponds to the total amount of income tax you owe on income received in 2021 after deducting the amounts that have already been deducted from you at source in 2021. The tax return contains certain income already entered such as salaries, pensions, unemployment benefits and daily allowances, or income from movable capital.

The opening of the 2022 declarative campaign was scheduled for April 7. Everything went well at the opening on Thursday, before a big hiccup that the tax authorities had absolutely not expected. No possibility of accessing the pre-filling of the tax declaration for three days. In question ? Pre-filling errors concerning the overtime of certain civil servants. The problem was solved on Monday 11 in the early afternoon. From now on, everything is back to normal, all taxpayers can complete their tax return.

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 taxes online 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:

  • 1time area: the May 24, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. for departments n° 01 to 19 and residents not resident in France
  • 2th area: the May 31, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. for departments 20 to 54 including the two departments of Corsica
  • 3th area: the June 8, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. for departments n° 55 to 974/976

Taxpayers who use the paper form have up to May 18, 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.
