TAX DATE 2022. As of next Tuesday, for some of you, it will be too late to file your tax return. Who is concerned ? We take stock.
[Mis à jour le 27 mai 2022 à 08h32] Starting next Tuesday, it will be too late to complete and return your tax return to the tax authorities for some of you! Indeed, many taxpayers are affected by the second deadline of this 2022 reporting campaign: the tuesday 31 may ! But then, who is concerned? First of all, all taxpayers who have opted for the tax return in paper format, we naturally think of the elderly or anyone who does not have a sufficient internet connection. Next Tuesday, residents of departments between the Corsica (2A and 2B) and the Meurthe-et-Moselle (54). In the event of non-compliance with the deadline by these two categories of taxpayers, penalties will be established in the form of an increase in income tax. A few days before the deadline, we remind you of the complete calendar of deadlines for the 2022 declaration campaign, in order to remove any doubt about your particular case:
- 1time area : May 24, 2022 : departments n° (01) to (19) and not resident in France
- 2th area : May 31, 2022 : departments n° (20) to (54) and Corsica
- 3th area : 8 June 2022 for departments no. (55) to (974/976)
- Paper tax return: May 31, 2022 (all departments)
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.
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 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.
