# Irish tax back checker: what can you still claim for 2022 to 2026?

**A single renter on €40,000 who paid €1,200 a month in rent, spent €400 a year on the doctor and worked from home 2 days a week could claim back about €3,471 for 2022 to 2025.** The 2022 part (€640) must be claimed by **31 December 2026**: after that Revenue cannot repay it. Enter your own figures to see each year, its last date and how to claim it, free, from Revenue.

**Sources, read 13 November 2026 on revenue.ie:** the [four-year rule](https://www.revenue.ie/en/personal-tax-credits-reliefs-and-exemptions/four-year-rule/index.aspx), the [Rent Tax Credit](https://www.revenue.ie/en/personal-tax-credits-reliefs-and-exemptions/land-and-property/rent-credit/how-much-claim.aspx), [health expenses](https://www.revenue.ie/en/personal-tax-credits-reliefs-and-exemptions/health-and-age/health-expenses/index.aspx), [remote working relief](https://www.revenue.ie/en/jobs-and-pensions/eworking/calculate-allowable-remote-working-costs.aspx), [tuition fees](https://www.revenue.ie/en/personal-tax-credits-reliefs-and-exemptions/education/tuition-fees-paid-for-third-level-education/how-do-you-calculate-the-relief.aspx), the [Mortgage Interest Tax Credit](https://www.revenue.ie/en/personal-tax-credits-reliefs-and-exemptions/land-and-property/mortgage/how-much-can-you-claim.aspx) and the [tax relief charts](https://www.revenue.ie/en/personal-tax-credits-reliefs-and-exemptions/tax-relief-charts/index.aspx) for 2022 to 2026, plus Revenue’s Tax and Duty Manuals for each relief. Every Revenue worked example on those pages is a test of this checker. This shows what the published rules give for the figures you enter. It is general information, not advice, and it cannot see your records. Rules as of 13 November 2026; sources are linked on each figure.

## Next step

**Claim it yourself, free:** sign in to [Revenue myAccount](https://www.revenue.ie/en/online-services/services/manage-your-record/myaccount.aspx), open PAYE Services and choose “Review your tax for the previous 4 years”. Start with the year that closes first.

### Email me before claims expire

One reminder in early December, before 2022 claims close on 31 December 2026, then before each later year’s deadline, plus Irish tax rule changes. Confirm by email; unsubscribe in one click.

## How to claim, relief by relief

Start in Revenue’s myAccount: PAYE Services, then **Review your tax for the previous 4 years**, then the year. Request the Statement of Liability, then complete the Income Tax Return for that year. Each year is a separate claim. It is free.

Rent Tax Credit

myAccount › Review your tax for the previous 4 years › the year › Statement of Liability › Income Tax Return › Tax Credits & Reliefs › You and your family › Rent Tax Credit. For 2026 you can also claim now in “Manage your tax 2026”. Have your landlord’s name, address and tax number, the property’s Eircode or LPT number and the RTB number if the tenancy must be registered.

Medical expenses and nursing home fees

Same Income Tax Return › Tax Credits & Reliefs › Health › Health expenses. Enter what you paid less anything insurance or the HSE paid back. Keep receipts for 6 years (Receipts Tracker in myAccount is enough); for non-routine dental, the dentist gives you a Med 2 form to keep.

Remote working relief

Same Income Tax Return › Tax Credits & Reliefs › Your job › Remote Working Relief. Upload the electricity, heating and broadband bills with the claim, and proof of your share if the bills are shared. Take off anything your employer paid you for working from home.

Tuition fees

Same Income Tax Return › Tax Credits & Reliefs › Tuition Fees. Only the person who paid can claim. Include any grant or scholarship; keep receipts for 6 years.

Mortgage Interest Tax Credit

After the year ends: Income Tax Return › Tax Credits & Reliefs › You and your family › Mortgage Interest Tax Credit. Upload your lender’s interest certificates for 2022 and for the year, and the balance on 31 December 2022. Your lender provides them on request.

## What this checker does not cover

Flat-rate expenses for your job, emergency tax, USC or PRSI refunds, medical insurance relief (given at source), pension contributions, the Home Carer and other personal credits, and self-employed (Form 11) liabilities. For those, request your Statement of Liability in myAccount. It is built for PAYE workers; if you file a Form 11, use your own return’s figures. 2027 is not shown yet: those claims open in 2027.

## What people get wrong

-   **Waiting for Revenue to add the credit.** The Rent Tax Credit, medical expenses and remote working relief are not given automatically for past years. You have to claim each year.
-   **Thinking the deadline is the filing date.** For PAYE workers the limit is four years from the end of the tax year, so 2022 closes on 31 December 2026, 2023 on 31 December 2027.
-   **Claiming 2024 rent at the old cap.** The 2024 maximum was raised from €750 to €1,000 (€1,500 to €2,000 for a couple) after the year ended. If you claimed early on the lower figure, amend your 2024 return.
-   **Counting routine dental or eye tests.** Only non-routine dental work (crowns, braces, root canal and similar) counts, and the dentist must give you a Med 2.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can I still claim tax back for 2022?**  
Yes, until 31 December 2026. Revenue’s four-year rule says “claims for 2022 must be made by 31 December 2026. Claims made after this time cannot be repaid.” Example (our default figures): a single renter on €40,000 paying €1,200 a month in rent, with €400 a year of medical costs and 92 days a year working from home, can claim about €640 for 2022 and €3,471 for 2022 to 2025.

**How much Rent Tax Credit can I claim for past years?**  
It is 20% of the rent you paid, up to €500 for a single person (€1,000 for a jointly assessed couple) for 2022 and 2023, and up to €1,000 (€2,000) for 2024, 2025 and 2026, and never more than the income tax you paid that year (Revenue). A renter who paid at least €5,000 a year in rent and enough tax can claim €3,000 for 2022 to 2025.

**How do I claim tax back for previous years?**  
In Revenue’s myAccount: PAYE Services, “Review your tax for the previous 4 years”, pick the year, request the Statement of Liability, then complete the Income Tax Return and add the credits and reliefs. Each year is a separate claim. It is free, and Revenue usually refunds to your bank account.

**Does this include USC or PRSI?**  
No. These credits and reliefs reduce income tax only. The Rent Tax Credit and the Mortgage Interest Tax Credit cannot reduce USC or PRSI, and none of them can take your income tax below nil (Revenue).

**Do I need a tax agent?**  
No. Claiming directly from Revenue is free. Agents charge a fee or a share of the refund for the same claim. We are not a tax agent and never ask for your myAccount details.
