Despite this facility, stay vigilant and remember to check all the information about you. Despite this special attention, errors can slip into your tax return. The editorial staff of Linternaut.com presents the 5 mistakes to avoid in 2022:
Did you report child support incorrectly?
It is possible that you forgot to declare child support. If you pay one, be careful to declare it in the “6. Deductible expenses” section and not in the “6DD” section which corresponds to the deductions! The error happens quickly, so be vigilant. In the opposite case, if you receive alimony, it must be declared under one of the following headings: 1AO, 1BO, 1CO or 1DO.
Forgot to declare a TV?
This is perhaps the queen of tax filing errors. Not the most serious, but the most common. The box “contribution to public broadcasting” is dedicated to this declaration there. Of course, you will not forget to pay the TV license fee, so you might as well declare it from April on your tax return. If you do not do it, you will have to reimburse the sum of € 138. Know that in the event of the re-election of Emmanuel Macron, or the election of Marine Le Pen on April 24, this audiovisual fee will be abolished.
Forgot to check the single parent box?
Single ? Divorced or separated? Don’t forget to tick the “single parent” box (box T) on your tax return. It is possible that this box is not pre-filled even if you were already in this situation last year. In addition, the malfunctions that appeared this year on pre-filling prompt you to be even more vigilant.
You are separated or divorced, a concern about the declaration of dependent children?
Again, there are often mistakes and they are largely avoidable. If your child resides alternately with one parent then with the other, be aware that he or she can be taken into account equally within the tax household. Sometimes taxpayers don’t know it and fail to report it. In some cases, the tax return is false and errors are made at this level. If the child is your sole responsibility, you must complete boxes F or G. If custody is shared with your spouse, check boxes H or I.
Childcare expenses, what to declare?
In the case of a tax credit, it is possible to obtain a reimbursement of 50% of the total expenses relating to this care of dependent children under the age of 6 on January 1, 2021. Attention, an error is very quickly arrived in this case. Keep in mind that food costs should not be included as they are not taken into account in the tax credit. You must also withdraw the additional costs of free choice of childcare, and the aid granted by the employer.
