Field help: (2024) Reason for running a double household

Enter the (job-related) reason for maintaining two households.

The tax office only recognises the expenses for a second household if there are job-related reasons for this. If you maintain a second household for occupational reasons, the tax office will bear some of the burdens for having two households.

Job-related reasons are, for example:

• Returning to a previous employment relationship
• Transfer to another place of work
• Change of a job and / or an employer
• Maintaining the apartment near the work location after a private relocation
