2022 TAX DEADLINE. D-1 before the start of the 2022 declaration campaign. When should I declare my taxes? What is the deadline? Online or paper? All the answers to your questions.
[Mis à jour le 6 avril 2022 à 15h11] As of tomorrow, taxpayers will be able to file their tax returns online. Indeed, for this 2022 declarative campaign on 2021 income, the start date is set for Thursday, April 7. Your situation has not changed one iota compared to last year? Same observation, you will have to complete your tax return. The establishment of the withholding tax in 2019 does not change anything, it is an obligation for each taxpayer. The tax return will also allow you to regularize your situation in order to obtain a refund if you were not taxable over a certain period in 2021. Remember that for taxpayers who use the paper return, the deadline for returning it is set for May 18, 2022.
For this 2022 declarative campaign, the starting signal will be given on Thursday, April 7. From this date, taxpayers will be able to declare their income by completing their tax return online. If your home has internet access, it is mandatory to complete your declaration directly online. Otherwise, a dedicated form may be offered to you.
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.
