IRS Declaration

[Bicky]

Last year I successfully made my own IRS submission on line - my computer was using Windows operating system. This year I am using Linux operating system with Linux Mint.
I am having difficulty in locating a download point for my Modelo 3 using Linux.
Has anyone any experience of this.

Not familiar with Linux, have enough trouble with Windows, but if you look at Financas Home page, but it's on all pages, in left Blue column Downloads when you click on e.g IRS there are options to download for Windows, Mac and Linux, whether you can then complete online, really don't know best of luck

[Bicky]

Thanks for this - NO cannot do anything on line - I will download, print, Adobe PDF versions - then take to Financas.

Or use a friends computer with Windows

As I say I'm not familiar with Linux but I thought most users also had Windows installed as well

[Bicky]

I could install Windows as a " Dual Boot" however I deliberately moved away from Windows because Linux for 99% of the time is better, NO Virus problems, and ALL software is FREE.

Hi Bicky,
You will not be able to submit your declaration until your local Finances make the software available.
Paper submissions have to be returned by 31/03/2012.
Electronic by 30/04/2012.
Software should be available for use by beginning of April I believe.
If you log on to Financas Portal for your area you will find a Fiscal Agenda (Diary for the Fiscal (tax) activities). You will be able to open the IRS section for Modelo 3 returns but will see that the current declaration year (20011) is not yet loaded.
If you wait for this to be available I believe you will find all the information fields you used last year will be partly filled in except for the 2011 figures. Much easier than rewriting everything on paper every year !
Good luck.
Chris.

BRILLIANT and thank you - Will wait t'ill the end of April - let you know how I get on !

Just further there are two filing dates within Paper or Electronic, which you use depends on your type of income, you should check which you come under

[Bicky]

Mine is ALL pensionable income - Tax Credits are only Medical - All very simple really, but as we know necessary to file details.

In that case Paper by 30th March, Electronic by 30th April
