Anyone who received taxable income in 2021 on which tax was not withheld is required to submit a declaration. First of all, this is income from the sale of personal property: apartment, car, house, garage, land, etc. You will need to submit a declaration if you want to receive tax deductions: standard, social or property. For example, if in 2021 you paid the costs of education, treatment, purchase of an apartment or other real estate (house, cottage, room, shares in them). For information on how to receive deductions, see:
- How to get a deduction for treatment;
- How to get a tuition deduction;
- How to get a deduction when buying an apartment (or other real estate).
The detailed procedure for filling out the 3-NDFL declaration for 2021 is set out in the article “3-NDFL Declaration”.
Updated form 3-NDFL for 2021
Declaration form 3-NDFL was approved by order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation dated December 24, 2014 No. ММВ-7-11/671, and by order dated October 25, 2017 No. ММВ-7-11/822 changes were made to it, which from 2021 are valid for declaration income received in 2021.
How does the new form 3-NDFL 2021 differ from the previously valid one? The main innovations of the declaration are as follows:
- Page barcodes have changed.
- The “title page” of the declaration no longer contains a field for entering the address of an individual; now only his contact telephone number is indicated.
- On sheet “D1”, intended for property tax deductions, the cadastral number of the property is indicated instead of the address.
- In sheet “E1”, the declaration in form 3-NDFL 2021 (calculation of standard and social deductions) now does not contain a line to reflect the number of months, based on the results of which income from the beginning of the year did not exceed 350 thousand rubles. A new line has also been added here for the amount paid for undergoing an independent assessment of one’s qualifications - this is a new social deduction approved by law dated July 3, 2016 No. 251-FZ.
- In connection with the introduction of a new type of investment tax deduction (law dated December 28, 2013 No. 420-FZ), sheets “Z” (calculation of income from transactions with securities and derivatives) and “I” (calculation of income from participation in investment partnerships).
- In the 3-NDFL declaration, the form for filling out 2021 has been supplemented with a completely new application “Calculation of income from the sale of real estate”. It must be filled out only for objects registered as ownership after 01/01/2016, taking into account that the income from the sale must be at least 70% of the cadastral value of the object (clause 5 of Article 217.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
In addition to the form, the same order of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation also updated the electronic formats of the declaration, since it can be submitted not only in “paper” form, but also electronically.
When to take it
The deadline for filing 3-NDFL in 2021 has not changed. Based on Article 229 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, you must report your income for 2021 until April 30, 2021 inclusive.

If you want to declare one or more required deductions in your declaration (i.e., without income), then the specific deadline for submitting such a 3-NDFL is not established by law.

Basic mistakes when drafting a document
Many years of experience of inspectors in accepting declarations allowed us to consolidate the main errors that applicants make when filling out.
Table 1. Errors when filling out the document
| Error | Description |
| Mistake #1 | When preparing the title page, the correction number is not indicated. When submitting a declaration for the first time, for example, you should enter the number “0”. |
| Mistake #2 | The tax resident category code is entered incorrectly. An individual who opened an individual entrepreneur must enter the code “720” in any case, even if he was deregistered during the reporting period or did not receive profit from commercial activities. |
| Mistake #3 | Incorrect OKATO code. Most applicants transfer it from the 2-NDFL certificate, but it is necessary to indicate the code at the place of residence. |
| Mistake #4 | Incorrect interpretation of the “Place of residence” column. You need to enter data at the place of registration, and not at your actual location. |
| Mistake #5 | Lack of signature on each page of the declaration. |
| Mistake #6 | Section 6 does not always indicate KBK, OKATO and the amount of tax to be paid additionally or refunded. |
The text of the declaration contains tips, and if you carefully fill it out, you can achieve success in this difficult field the first time.
