Met de aangifte-app kunt u vanaf 1 maart uw aangifte inkomstenbelasting 2025 doen. U haalt met uw DigiD uw gegevens op. Daarna controleert u ze. Klopt alles? Dan kunt u uw aangifte meteen ondertekenen en verzenden. De Aangifte app is alleen te gebruiken in combinatie met de DigiD app. De DigiD app moet op hetzelfde apparaat staan en u gebruikt de pincode van de DigD app om de Aangifte app te openen. Doet u aangifte met een fiscale partner? Dan heeft uw partner ook de DigiD app nodig op zijn of haar eigen apparaat. Kijk eerst of u wel aangifte kunt doen met de app. Die kans is groot als u vorig jaar niets hoefde te wijzigen of aan te vullen, en als uw situatie niet is veranderd. U kunt de aangifte-app niet gebruiken als u: - niet het hele jaar dezelfde fiscale partner had - uw woning hebt gekocht of verkocht en daardoor aftrekbare kosten had - een restschuld voor een vroegere eigen woning had - uw woning tijdelijk verhuurde, bijvoorbeeld via Airbnb - een onderneming had - aandeel in een onverdeelde erfenis had - inkomsten uit overig werk had - in het buitenland woonde - inkomsten uit het buitenland had - bezittingen in het buitenland had - co-ouder was, en uw minderjarige kind niet op uw adres ingeschreven stond - aftrekposten had, zoals giften, zorgkosten of studiekosten Let op! Als u inkomen in box 3 had kunt u met deze app niet uw werkelijk rendement doorgeven. De app houdt alleen rekening met het fictief rendement. Kunt u de app niet gebruiken? Vul dan onze online aangifte in. Kijk voor meer informatie of om direct aangifte te doen op belastingdienst.nl/aangifte.
