Good afternoon, dear reader.
This article will discuss how to file your taxes online.
The need to file a declaration may arise in different situations: when receiving income (for example, when selling a car) or to receive a tax deduction (for example, for training in a driving school).
The traditional method of filing a return on paper requires time (travel to the tax office and waiting in line) and money (to pay for travel). You can send your tax return online for free and quickly. This article will cover:
- Preparation of documents for filing a declaration. Declaration file in xml format.
- Preparation of copies of additional documents.
Let's get started.
Preparation of documents for filing a declaration via the Internet
To submit the 3rd personal income tax declaration online you need to prepare:
- Declaration file in xml format.
- Scanned copies of additional documents.
Declaration file in xml format
First of all, you need to fill out a declaration using the “Declaration” program. If you have not done this yet, I recommend studying the following instructions:
Instructions for filling out a tax return
After you have completed filling out the declaration, you need to save it in xml format. It's quite easy to do this:
Click on the "xml file" button at the top of the program window. After that, select the folder where the file will be saved and click the “OK” button.
Preparation of copies of additional documents
All documents that need to be attached to the declaration are additional.
For example, when selling a car, you need to attach 2 sales agreements to the declaration (one for the purchase of the car, and the second for the sale).
When receiving a deduction for training in a driving school, additional documents may include a training agreement with a driving school, cash receipts, a driving school license, a 2-NDFL certificate, and an application for a personal income tax refund.
All necessary documents should be scanned and placed in a separate folder.
Please note that the tax office imposes a 20 MB on the total size of uploaded files, so I recommend scanning documents with a resolution of 150 dpi and saving them in jpg format.
How to send a 3-NDFL declaration for tax deduction in your personal account
The interface of the new account has been transformed and has become intuitive: filing a declaration is elementary. For greater understanding, it makes sense to break the entire algorithm into blocks, acting sequentially.
First, we create an electronic signature (read about how to do this here). In short, click on your full name in your personal account and get to the section with information about yourself. Scroll through the tabs to the “receive electronic signature” sub-item. The most rational and least labor-intensive option would be to choose “store the digital signature in the Federal Tax Service database.” Then we come up with a password and wait for the generation to complete. After this, we will begin sending the declaration.
We select life situations in the top line. We are interested in filing 3-NDFL, so we go to the point of the same name and move on.
At the next step, the taxpayer has a choice - fill it out online or send a ready-made declaration. Deklaracia3ndfl.ru is dedicated to the preparation of 3-NDFL in the program, that’s why our “download” button, but in the future we will also consider filling it out online.
Here we indicate the year for which 3-NDFL is sent. Please note that if you are applying for a tax deduction for several years at once, you need to create a new application each time. You need to send a file in xml format, which is made in the program (To save it from the software, after filling it out, click “XML file” and place it in a convenient place. It is from there that you will need to upload it to the taxpayer’s personal account).
Now you need to attach documents to the 3-NDFL declaration to receive a deduction (look for the list on the website). To do this, press the “attach” button. Papers, contracts and checks need to be scanned, but not everyone has a scanner at home, but a mobile phone with a good camera is more common. Therefore, you can send high-quality photographs with a total volume of no more than 20 MB.
The last step is to enter your email password and click confirm and send.
Deadlines for consideration and status of declaration verification
The verification process can be viewed in the messages section. After filing 3-NDFL through the taxpayer’s personal account, you will receive a notification that the application has been registered. You will then receive a letter in which you can track the status.
I would like to immediately note that in each specific case the time after sending may vary. However, there is a certain limit beyond which the tax office cannot consider the declaration.
According to the NKRF, namely Article 88, the maximum inspection period is 3 months. It doesn’t matter if it was submitted through a personal account, or if it was handed over to an inspector.
When a message is received about the successful result of the desk audit, the amount of overpayment to the budget will appear. The only thing left to do is submit an application for a deduction. To do this, from the main page, go to “life situations” and select the “dispose of overpayment” item. Next, fill in the bank details for a tax refund and submit the application. The period during which the money will arrive is 1 month.
I hope this instruction helped you send the completed 3-NDFL declaration through your personal account and you will receive the 13% due to you from the state without wasting effort, precious time and queuing.
Obtaining an electronic signature verification key certificate
To obtain a certificate for an electronic signature verification key, as well as to submit a tax return, we will use the “Taxpayer Personal Account” service. If you are not yet registered in this service, I recommend that you study the detailed instructions for creating an account:
