If you’re like most people, you probably promise yourself you’ll “get the tax return done early this year.” But then October rolls around and suddenly the deadline is weeks away. The extended e-filing deadline for 2024 Income Tax Returns in Wednesday 19th November 2025.
Our FastTax.ie Tax Stress Survey found that 60 % of Irish taxpayers leave their Form 11 until the final weeks, and 3 in 5 say it makes them feel stressed or anxious.
Here’s why waiting costs more than you think — and how a few smart steps now can save you money, time, and nerves.
💸 1. You could miss valuable tax credits
When you’re in a rush, things get overlooked, from medical receipts to health insurance or flat-rate expenses.
Many taxpayers also forget credits for:
• Pension contributions (a great last-minute way to reduce your 2024 bill)
• Rent tax credit
• Home Carer’s Credit
• Education or training fees
FastTax.ie guides you through every question relevent to you, so you never miss what you’re owed.
🧾 2. You risk filing mistakes that can lead to Revenue follow-ups
Late filers often upload incomplete data.
That’s how Revenue letters happen.
Our software checks for missing info automatically and flags it for your review. So you can file confidently, knowing your return is complete.
🕒 3. You’ll pay in stress (and sometimes cash)
People often pay extra for an accountant when they panic near the deadline. But 1 in 3 accountant users still feel stressed, according to our research — and many said they weren’t sure all deductions were claimed.
With FastTax.ie, you can file with expert support when you need it without the high accountant’s bill.
🧘 4. Avoid the rush — and take back control
You’ve still got time to:
