To be fair, they probably didn’t update the graphic properly. I have the impression here that their tax guide is the only thing they get right

€1.176 it is. Thanks George.
I got into the site eventually and used the simulator out of curiosity.
The thing that puzzled me was in the section for ‘prelevement a la source’.
My rate of tax is 7% but my wife’s is 3.7%. Now, my income is greater that hers, so I expect to pay more tax , but I don’t understand why the rates are different. I would have thought the rates would be the same.
I have sent an email to Isabelle Want, suggesting she MAY have made an error when telling folk to enter tax credits info on dividends.
As far as I can find out, there is no UK witholding tax on dividends, they are paid gross. Mine are.
I have just done our 2025 tax return.
Two points struck me. One is that it never offered me the option of selecting a foreign income annexe (2047). When I entered my UK pensions (in box 1AM) a red warning notice came up. Basically it was saying ‘don’t forget to carry your foreign income details to box 8?? (can’t recall exact letters/numbers) IF you don’t have an S1/private medical coverage, so we can collect CSG/CRDS from you’. @David_Spardo one for you?
Secondly it had ‘greyed out’ the option of choosing to select schedules for a) overseas bank accounts, b) for not being in assurance maladie, or c) for bank interest. It turned out that this is because these sections are (further on) already pre filled in, but I couldn’t find an explanation - initially - as to why they were greyed out.
Good luck for all those about to embark on this ‘exciting journey’….

Thank you @George1 , I am dreading it but remind me do the appropriate documents arrive by email if we are completing online, surely they don’t trust me to search for the right ones? 
Still waiting in trepidation for a reply to my long deferred acceptance of error from 2023/4, I pointed out that their figure for our (I can’t find an S1 for Fran so it includes her as well 'till her death) joint UK income was slightly more than my own but that I thought that discrepancy could be down to variable exchange rates and asked them to make a demand and finish the matter. I think it is going to be in the region of €1,500 to €1,600 though. Seems excessive for someone who continues to be too poor to pay income taxes here, ever, even while working. 
Just taking a look and it seems that Paper Declarations will only be sent out to those who declared on Paper in 2025. I’m still within the time-frame to receive my papers.. phew… no need to phone and chase 'em.
George, I was just in it, poking around out of curiosity. And I noticed it said that it had already ticked the boxes for the additional forms based on our previous declaration. Yet the only additional form ticked was the 2044. No mention of 2047, which we definitely completed last year.
I do love the way you do your return so early. It makes me look less mentally ill.
They do indeed expect you to choose which types of income/deductions might be relevant to you, then they present you with those relevant schedules,.and little else it seemed in my case…
I wonder if they’ve suddenly done away with 2047, the foreign income schedule…interesting to see if others with non French income find the same when they come to do their returns.
I see on a separate thread that you’ve noticed the foreign bank accounts declaration is also now incorporated into the main return rather than being a separate (3916) schedule. I was surprised to see this online this morning but it makes things simpler, as would abolishing 2047 as a separate schedule if that is what they’ve done
Re doing my return early, it’s a character failing that I can’t stand having any task outstanding, I have to do them asap..In Myers Briggs terms (if you’ve had the doubtful pleasure of your character being assessed by HR types) I’m a fanatical completer/finisher….
Oh God. Me too.
I THINK 2047 is still in the list of options. It just hadn’t been pre-ticked in our case.
The only reason I was wondering whether 2047 has now been incorporated into the main return is that I was showing my wife how to do the return, at her request, so she can do it if I go under a bus. I was telling her, now we need to tick the box to show we need a foreign income schedule….and there was nowt there. Neither of us could see it, albeit the return was happy to let me input foreign pension income..A minor mystery….
Which is what led me into trouble, albeit it 2 years ago.
I’m still not clear though, think of me as someone has has never done it before 
. Do I have to do anything, or do they send me something to work with, one way or the other?
But mention of 2047 being discontinued and all foreign income being entered eleswhere makes the behaviour of the ‘pesterer in chief’ all the more outrageous as she accused me of accepting French health care while wilfully being unwilling to pay for it. 
Will be interested to see what the Connextion tax guide has to say about all this. As far as I can see, they mainly copy and paste info - including some rather bad mistakes - from one year’s edition to the next.

If you are doing your return online, you have to go into your Impôts account, and select the ‘declarer’ tab, and then access the return to complete..You have to choose which items of income you have and the system will then present the appropriate schedules to you. You then input the figures in the appropriate boxes. If you look at the link I shared above that shows you to how to fill out your return, you will see the screenshots I’m talking about including this one below.
You simply click to the left to select the schedule(s) that are relevant to your situation eg pensions.Have a look through that link, I think it’s a useful introduction/familiarisation to the actual return.

Thanks @George1 I will follow that advice but, perhaps it says something about the state of my brain that I absolutely don’t remember any of that and I have been doing it for many years.
