Tax deadline 2023: internet, paper… the calendar by department

TAX DATE. The sending of pre-filled tax declarations begins on April 6, 2023. A few days before the opening of the online declaration, discover the complete schedule of deadlines, department by department.

[Mis à jour le 6 avril 2023 à 11h16] The 2023 declarative campaign will open on next April 13. However, sending pre-filled declarations for taxpayers who always declare their taxes by post begins on Thursday, April 6. As every year, certain deadlines should be noted so as not to be surprised and pay a financial penalty at the end of the declaration period. These deadlines for filing your tax return are based on the Residence departmentand method of tax return selected (online or paper). The calendar has now been published by the tax authorities. Finally, this year, be aware that the declaration must be made online, except for taxpayers who do not have Internet access or who do not have the capacity to use digital tools. In this case, they can still resort to the paper form. Here is a summary of the key dates to know in 2023:

• Between April 6 and 25, 2023 : sending of pre-filled declarations and provision of the paper form
• April 13, 2023 : beginning of the online reporting period
• May 22, 2023 : deadline for the paper declaration
• May 25 to June 8, 2023 : deadline for online declaration, depending on your department

What is the schedule for the 2023 tax deadlines?

Like every year, the arrival of spring rhymes with tax declaration. And despite the establishment of withholding tax four years ago now, you won’t escape it. Indeed, you will have to complete your tax return again, or check the information pre-filled by the tax authorities in your automatic declaration. The sending of pre-filled declarations will extend from April 6 to 25, 2023. The opening of the online declaration service will open its doors on April 13, 2023. The deadline for taxes online at impots.gouv.fr depends exclusively on your department number. We advise you to pay close attention to the deadlines after which it will no longer be possible to declare your income. An oversight that could cost you dearly with a financial penalty. In total, three zones have been determined by the tax authorities. Here are the deadlines for 2023:

• 1^time area: the 25 May 2023 @ 11:59pm for departments n° 01 to 19 and residents not resident in France
• 2^th area: the June 1st 2023 at 11:59 p.m. for departments 20 to 54 including the two departments of Corsica
• 3^th area: the June 8, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. for departments n° 55 to 974/976

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.

This year, the tax return must be done online. However, there are certain exceptions and some taxpayers can still complete the paper form, if they do not have Internet access or if they do not have the capacity to use digital tools can still use the paper form. In this case, the paper tax return can be done until 22 May 2023 midnight, as evidenced by the postmark, regardless of their place of residence. The deadline is therefore the same for everyone.
