Field help: (2018) We as step-/grandparents claim the transfer of allowances.

Select "yes" here if you, as a stepparent or a grandparent, want to claim the child allowance and the child-raising allowance, and the biological parents have agreed to the transfer of the allowances.

Important prerequisites for the transfer:

• you have included the child into your household or
• you have a maintenance obligation towards the child/grandchild to fulfil, for example, if one or both parents are unable to provide for their child.

For the parents' consent, enclose "Form K" with your tax return.
