Filing a return can be how refunds, credits and some benefits reach you. This sheet has what to keep, how to spot a scam, and the free official help where you live.

Why file

  • Tax taken from your pay may come back
  • Some credits are only paid if you file
  • Some benefits use your tax information

Free help first

  • Look for free official help before paying
  • Ask a paid preparer the full price first
  • A refund loan is a loan: ask what it costs

Keep these

  • Copies of every return you file
  • Income statements and receipts for claims
  • Every letter from the tax or benefit office

Scam signs

  • Threats of arrest over tax
  • Payment by gift card, crypto or payment app
  • A refund link sent by text or email
  • Go to the official site yourself to check

In Argentina

  • Your clave fiscal. A clave fiscal is the personal password, which cannot be transferred to anyone else, for handling procedures online with ARCA (Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero, the national tax and customs agency). You can get or recover it in ARCA’s mobile app.
  • Deductions for employees. Employees use SiRADIG to send their employer the F. 572 web form, listing the income tax (Impuesto a las Ganancias) deductions they claim, tax collected from them in advance (percepciones), and income from a second job.
  • Check what was withheld. ARCA’s “Mis retenciones” service, with your clave fiscal, shows the withholdings and percepciones declared by whoever made them. A basic check of your social security contributions (aportes) needs no clave fiscal.
  • Child benefits. ANSES (the national social security agency) pays the Asignación Universal por Hijo (universal child allowance) to parents who are unemployed, in unregistered work, domestic workers or monotributistas sociales. You can check payments in mi ANSES with your CUIL and Clave de la Seguridad Social.
