Who can still complete the 2022 paper tax return? Until when ? Since 2019, online tax declaration has been compulsory for all persons whose main residence has Internet access. However, the tax administration is tolerant of taxpayers who believe they are unable to submit their declaration online. This particularly concerns those whose home is not connected to the Internet (or who live in a white zone), those who do not have the intellectual faculties to use digital tools and those who declare for the first time without prior Tax Administration. Like the online declaration, the “paper” declaration is pre-filled. Check if the information provided is correct. If not, correct them in the white boxes provided for this purpose. If you have other income (commercial, liberal, agricultural, land, etc.), charges or tax reductions to declare, fill them in. Certain income is the subject of a declaration annexed to the basic declaration n°2042. Finally, sign your declaration and return it. You have until May 31 to send it, the postmark serving as proof. The main form 2042 of the tax declaration is generally put online, in PDF format, on the tax website. You will find the additional forms there: Form 2042-C: the supplementary tax return Form 2042-RICI: for tax credits and reductions Form 2042-C PRO: for self-employed professions Form 2044: for property income declaration on the Internet is pre-filled by the tax authorities with the marital status, the family situation and the wages and allowances indicated to it by the employers and social organizations. Who can declare online? Everyone, including 20-25 year olds previously attached to their parents’ tax household and who are declaring their income for the first time. Go to the remote declaration service from your computer or launch the Impots.gouv application on your smartphone or tablet: Log in to your Individual space with your tax number and your password. For those who do not yet have a password, connect to the service using your tax number, your electronic filer number and your reference tax income to choose one. Since 2018, it has been possible to connect to its secure space on the tax website thanks to FranceConnect. Verify that the marital status, address, and pre-filled amounts are correct. If not, correct them directly in the boxes. Note that the pre-filled declaration now shows the amount of tax already deducted at source the previous year.

Connect to your personal space on impots.gouv.fr, using your tax number and your password, and launch the online procedure without delay. The procedures remain accessible. On the other hand, you remain exposed to sanctions from the tax authorities (10% increase in income tax and up to 80% in the event of occult activity), the right to make mistakes does not apply. not by the tax deadline. A word of advice: attach an explanatory note at the end of the declaration, to specify the circumstances of your delay. The taxman can be understanding. Otherwise, you will have to wait to receive the tax notice to make a request for a free rebate. “If you make a mistake that plays in your favor, you will pay a 10% increase unless you spontaneously regularize the situation or if you respond to the reminder from the tax administration within 30 days, insists the Public Service site. It is therefore possible to regularize your situation without paying any penalties. The increase is applied to the additional tax due or to the amount of the benefit to which you are not entitled.

It would probably be much more prudent to check it one last time before sending it by post or validating it digitally. Here is how you should proceed in the event of an error: If you have completed the paper form, and have already sent the document: you must send a second corrective form in the event of a glitch, before the deadline. On the Internet, it’s easier: you can make as many corrections as you want until the deadline. Once June 8 has passed, it will then be necessary to wait for the reopening of the remote declaration service on impots.gouv.fr, at the end of July. Every year taxpayers make mistakes. And very often, it is the same ones who come back. To begin, have you checked the information pre-populated by the tax authorities? These are not always accurate. This is why you should check that your family situation is correct, especially if you have experienced changes (birth, marriage, PACS, divorce, etc.). Remember to mention any change in the situation within 60 days of the event, on impots.gouv.fr, in order to adjust your withholding tax rate, without waiting for the reporting period.
