The counting account of the 2025 income declaration is launched for 40 million tax households. By here deadline fixed according to their department of residence – from May 22 for zone 1 to June 5 for zone 3 on impots.gouv.fr -, they must put themselves in good standing with their tax obligations, under penalty of scoping with a fine of 10% of their tax on income. A chore for most taxpayers. The majority, but not all, since 11 million of them are eligible for the automatic income declaration this year.
This specific declaration mode “Dissess part of the tax households to deposit their income tax as soon as the pre -filled information is fair and exhaustive ”explains the Directorate General of Public Finance (DGFIP). In other words, if you are concerned, you just have to check the data pre -filled by the tax authorities, whether it be your income or personal information such as your civil status, the dependents of your tax household, your address or your bank details.
Conditions to take advantage of the automatic declaration
Hence a question: are you one of these taxpayers with ultra simplified approaches? It all depends first on the nature of your income. If last year, you were imposed on income pre -filled by the taxman (wages, retirement pensions, etc.), and you have not reported a change of address, situation – such as a marriage, a PACS, a divorce or a death – or the start of an independent activity, you are then eligible for the automatic declaration. Which is not the case if you affect, for example, property income or declare Expenses for the employment of an employee at home. Same exclusion for taxpayers benefiting from dedicated tax regimes, such as journalists or maternal assistants, who benefit from specifications specific to their profession.
Note, on the other hand, that the reporting of a birth in 2024 with the “Managing my Source” service “on the tax tax site does not deprive you of the automatic declaration. Just like the option for taxation on the scale, with box 2op, of your investment income. An option renewed this year if you do not change your choice in your form.
Checking your information remains an obligation
Please note, however, because if you are well eligible for the automatic income declaration, this does not exempt you from your duty, namely to make sure that the information contained in your form is not wrong. To help you in your checks, the tax administration provides you with, in your personal space on taxes.gouv.fr, a summary document of known tax data on your income and charges of 2024.
If all the pre -filled information is correct, you will then have nothing to do. Not even to sign your declaration. On the other hand, any modification of the data, whether Your addressof the composition of your tax household, your income or your tax advantages (credit or tax reduction), forces you to make an online declaration by clicking on “declare online” in your personal space or to return the declaration to the paper format which has been sent to you, duly completed.
