TAX DATE 2022. Tuesday, May 31, thousands of new taxpayers are affected by the completion of the tax return. Are you affected by this deadline? Online or paper? We take stock.
[Mis à jour le 24 mai 2022 à 14h50] The next deadline for filing your tax return is fast approaching! Indeed, as of next Tuesday, May 31, 2022, many taxpayers are required to complete and return their declaration to the tax authorities. Otherwise, penalties will be applied to the amount of their income tax. Next Tuesday, taxpayers who have opted for the paper tax return are concerned! Without forgetting all the residents of the departments included between the Corsica (2A and 2B) and the Meurthe-et-Moselle (54). For these two categories of taxpayers, the deadline is set at 11:59 p.m., after which it will be too late. To avoid any misunderstandings, we provide you with the full schedule of deadlines for this 2022 declarative campaign just below. Here it is:
- Departments (01) to (19) and non-residents: May 24, 2022 at 11:59 p.m.
- Departments (2B/2A) 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.
- All departments: May 31, 2022 for the paper tax return
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 online taxes 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 areas: le May 24, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. for departments n° 01 to 19 and residents not resident in France
- 2th areas: le May 31, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. for departments 20 to 54 including the two departments of Corsica
- 3th areas: le 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.
