How to File Your Taxes Online with the Agenzia delle Entrate Portal: Step-by-Step Guide for Residents and Non-Residents

Filing your Italian taxes online has never been easier, whether you’re a local resident, non-resident property owner, or new expatriate. Thanks to the Agenzia delle Entrate portal, you can log in securely, access your Cassetto Fiscale (personal tax drawer), submit your tax return (Modello Redditi or pre-filled declaration), and make online tax payments with the F24 system. Here’s a comprehensive, English-first walkthrough for foreigners navigating Italy’s digital tax services.

1. Accesso al portale Agenzia delle Entrate / Logging in

How to do it:

• Go to the official portal: https://portale.agenziaentrate.gov.it

• You can log in using one of the following credentials:

• SPID (Sistema Pubblico di Identità Digitale): Italy’s public digital identity for citizens, residents, and many Italians abroad.

• CIE (Carta d’Identità Elettronica): The Italian electronic ID card with chip.

• CNS (Carta Nazionale dei Servizi): A smartcard to access online services.

• In specific cases, credentials provided by the Agenzia delle Entrate (still valid for businesses/professionals).

English tips: Set your browser to translate Italian pages automatically for easier navigation. Using SPID from abroad is possible if your digital identity is set up with an eligible provider and linked to a valid Italian ID.

2. Cassetto Fiscale

What is it?

The Cassetto Fiscale is your personal digital dashboard where you can view all your tax-related documents: tax returns, refunds, F24 payments, certifications, property data, and more.

How to access:

• After logging in, click on "Cassetto Fiscale" from your main dashboard.
• You can view, print, and download past declarations, payment details, refunds, and unique tax certifications.
• Access is available every day except for routine maintenance (5:00–6:00 am Italian time).

Delegating a professional: You can authorize a tax professional (commercialista) to operate within your Cassetto Fiscale on your behalf.

3. Presentazione del Modello Redditi / Filing Modello Redditi

Where to find it:

From the Cassetto Fiscale, select “Dichiarazione precompilata” (pre-filled declaration) or “Modello Redditi” in the annual tax return section.

Step-by-Step Procedure (2025):

1. View your pre-filled tax return (available from April 30 each year).
2. Modify or supplement your data, if necessary (from May 15).
3. Submit the return directly from the platform.
4. Additional options:

• Cancel/replace an already submitted declaration
• Access receipts, notifications, and delegations
• Provide your IBAN for potential tax refunds

English tips: For non-residents, ensure your Italian tax code (codice fiscale) is current and correct. Use browser translation tools since Modello Redditi and form 730 sections will be in Italian.

4. Pagamenti con Modello F24

How it works:

• After submitting your tax return, any taxes owed can be settled via your pre-filled F24 form found in your personal area.
• You may pay directly by debiting your Italian bank account, or print the F24 form for payment via online banking (home banking) with any Italian-enabled bank, even from overseas (if you have an Italian account).

English instructions: Download the F24 form and look for “F24 payment” on your online banking platform. Several Italian banks offer English-language support for online payments.

5. Risorse ufficiali / Official Resources

• Agenzia delle Entrate Portal: https://portale.agenziaentrate.gov.it
• Help for Cassetto Fiscale: Search for “Cassetto Fiscale” within the portal or check out their official video guides.
• Pre-filled Return Video Guide (2025): Look up the latest how-to video for new features and updates.
• Support for Italians Abroad: Access the “Residenza e rimpatrio” and “Italiani all’estero” sections for expat assistance.

6. Consigli per non residenti / Tips for Non-Residents

• SPID access works worldwide, as long as your digital identity is linked to a valid Italian ID and your codice fiscale.
• F24 payments usually require an Italian bank account; some providers allow SEPA-zone payments.
• If you struggle with language barriers or authentication, you can delegate a qualified accountant (commercialista) to manage your filings.
• Request support through the portal—non-resident assistance is available via dedicated email addresses and phone numbers listed on the main site.
