How to claim tax back in myAccount, step by step

Before you start

• Your myAccount login (PPSN and password). Claiming directly from Revenue is free.
• For rent: the address, the landlord’s name, the rent you paid in each year and the RTB number where the tenancy must be registered.
• For remote working: each year’s electricity, heating and broadband bills, and the number of days you worked from home. The bills are uploaded with the claim.
• For the Mortgage Interest Tax Credit: the lender’s certificates of interest for 2022 and the year, and the balance on 31 December 2022.
• For medical expenses and tuition: the receipts, to keep for six years.

A past year, step by step

1. Sign in to myAccount and open Review your tax for the previous 4 years.
2. Pick the year and request the statement for it (Revenue calls it a Statement of Liability; for some reliefs its pages say Preliminary End of Year Statement).
3. Choose Complete your Income Tax Return. Check the income and tax Revenue already holds.
4. Open Tax Credits & Reliefs and add each credit, using the menus in the table below.
5. Upload anything the relief needs (bills, certificates) through the Receipts Tracker, then submit. Repeat for the next year.

Where each credit is

From Revenue’s how-to-claim pages for each credit, read 13 November 2026. For the current year, the route is Manage your tax for the current year › Add new credits. People who file Form 11 claim on that return in ROS instead.

What people get wrong

• Leaving 2022 until last. It is the year that closes first, on 31 December 2026.
• Adding several years’ bills to one return. Each year’s costs go on that year’s return.
• Forgetting to upload remote working bills. The law requires them with the claim.
• Paying an agent for something free. Revenue does not charge for a claim; check any fee and what it covers before you sign up.

Frequently asked questions

How do I claim tax back for previous years in Ireland?
In myAccount, choose Review your tax for the previous 4 years, pick a year, request the statement for that year, then complete the Income Tax Return and add your credits under Tax Credits & Reliefs. Each year is a separate return; start with 2022, which closes on 31 December 2026.

Can I claim several years at once?
You can do them one after the other in the same sitting, but each year is its own Income Tax Return. Revenue says each year must be claimed separately.

Do I need to send receipts?
For remote working relief and the Mortgage Interest Tax Credit, yes: upload the bills or the lender’s certificates with the claim. For medical expenses and tuition fees Revenue does not ask for them when you claim, but you must keep them for six years; the Receipts Tracker in myAccount stores them.

Can I claim for this year before it ends?
For the Rent Tax Credit, medical expenses, remote working relief and tuition fees, yes: use Manage your tax for the current year and Add new credits. The Mortgage Interest Tax Credit can only be claimed after the year ends.
