There are still some things you can do, others that are no longer possible - and consequences you should know to avoid surprises when settling your tax. ## The deadline has passed. Now what? This year, the deadline to validate invoices ended on March 2nd, meaning it is no longer possible to classify expenses through e-fatura. However, this does not mean all deductions are lost. Some types of expenses may not even appear in e-fatura, as they are communicated directly to the tax authority by the entities. These expenses should appear in the tax deductions consultation. ### Examples of automatically communicated expenses: - Health expenses communicated by hospitals and clinics - Tuition and education fees reported by educational institutions - Mortgage interest - Rent communicated by the landlord ## Is it still possible to get some deductions? Not all deductions are lost - particularly those communicated directly to the tax authority. However, non-validation may result in the loss of deductions in categories such as restaurants, car workshops, hairdressers, and veterinarians. ## What are the consequences? ⚠️ Without classified and validated invoices, there is a loss of at least part of the deductions - which can reduce your refund or increase the tax to pay. ## What to do from now on? If you didn't validate your invoices in time, follow these steps to minimize the impact: - Check the Finance Portal for expenses already automatically communicated - Between March 16 and 31, consult the tax deductions and confirm the calculated values - If you find errors or missing values, file a complaint with the Tax Authority - Evaluate if you have expenses that can be manually declared in Annex H **Have questions about your IRS deductions or need help filling out your return?
