Field help: (2021) Do you want to apply for tax relief for single parents?

Please indicate here whether you want to apply for the tax relief for single parents for your child in 2021.

If your child belonged to your household in the year 2021 or was registered in the shared home, you can claim childcare costs or apply for the tax relief for single parents. The tax office will then accept your belonging to your household without further proof. The tax relief for single parents is granted for the period in which the child belonged to the household, provided that the other conditions are also met.

A child can also belong to several households. This is the case, for example, if the parents live separately and the child lives either with one parent or the other. For this reason, the household affiliation to the households of both parents must also be selected if the parents do not have a common household and the child is registered with both parents.
