Since April 7, the 2022 declaration campaign has been open, and it is possible to complete your declaration either in paper format or online thanks to the automatic tax declaration, pre-filled by the tax authorities. Be aware that in less than two weeks, taxpayers who have opted for the (paper) form option will have to return it to the tax authorities. The deadline is May 31, 2022. This has been extended, it was originally set for May 19, 2022. For online tax filing, on the internet, the deadline varies depending on your Residence department. The first concerned will be the departments between (01) and (19). Here is the schedule:

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 in order, 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.

Taxpayers who use the paper form have until May 31, 2022, at midnight, to send their tax return, the postmark being authentic, 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.

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. A total of three zones have been determined by the tax authorities. Here are the deadlines that applied this year:
