Field help: Did you provide care for relatives or did you have costs for your own care in 2025?

Select "yes" if you wish to claim the care allowance or expenses for care and support services in 2025.

Care allowance

You can apply for the care allowance if you care for a dependent relative or a close person without payment (§ 33b EStG).

Care and support expenses

Alternatively, expenses for care and support services can be claimed either as extraordinary expenses or as a tax reduction for household-related services.

Important: The tax reduction for household-related services is only recognised if you have received an invoice and paid it by bank transfer. Cash payments are not recognised by the tax office.
