TAX DATE 2022. The deadline for online tax returns is fast approaching. What deadline? For who ? Which departments? All the information in our dedicated article.
[Mis à jour le 20 mai 2022 à 07h58] D-4 for certain taxpayers before completing and returning their tax return to the tax authorities. The 2022 declarative campaign has been open since April 7 last, and the first deadline is already coming. Indeed, for the inhabitants residing in the departments included from (01) to (19), it’s already time to show your credentials to the tax authorities. You thought you’d pass between the drops this year with the introduction of the withholding tax three years ago ? Absolutely not, it is mandatory to complete your tax return. As a reminder, the deadline for paper declarations (form) has been extended to May 19, 2022 at May 31, 2022 due to delays in sending the declarations by the tax authorities. And this for all departments. For the online declaration, acclaimed by the vast majority of taxpayers, here is the complete schedule of deadlines not to be forgotten this year:
- Departments (01) to (19) and non-residents: May 24, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.
- Departments (20) to (54) and Corsica: May 31, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.
- Departments (55) to 974/976: June 8, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.
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. Let’s start with the details you absolutely need to keep in mind regarding the paper tax return.
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.
