Contributions to health and nursing care insurance

If you, as the policyholder, have paid contributions to health and nursing care insurance for your child's coverage, these can be deducted as special expenses. This only applies to contributions for basic coverage.

If you have paid contributions to health and nursing care insurance as part of your maintenance obligation, which your child (for whom you are entitled to child benefit or child allowances) owes as the policyholder, these contributions can be deducted as insurance expenses. However, this applies only to contributions for basic coverage. If you claim these amounts, they cannot be deducted as special expenses for your child.

If you are not jointly assessed for income tax with the other parent of your child, only enter the contributions you have paid yourself. Please do not forget to enter your child's identification number.
