The child the child was registered in my apartment
Time period
Indicate here whether your child has been registered in your apartment all year round.
If your child belonged to your household in 2019 or was registered in the common apartment during the year, you can claim childcare costs or apply for tax relief for single parents.
Notes:
The child is also considered to be a member of your household if it was temporarily housed away from home or if the taxpayer lives with his or her child, for example, with parents or grandparents.
A child can also belong to several households. This is the case, for example, if the parents live separately and the child lives alternately with both parents. Therefore, the choice of household affiliation to the households of both parents should be made even if the parents do not have a common household and the child is registered at both parents.
This information is necessary for a correct calculation of the relief amount for single parents by SteuerGo.
Was there a shared apartment with at least one other adult?
Was there a shared household with at least one other person of age?
Were other persons of legal age registered living with you in the shared apartment or shared household during 2019?
Select "yes" if in 2019 at least one other adult was registered in your apartment.
For months in which you live in a shared household with another person of full age, you do not receive tax relief.
You still receive tax relief if an adult child (adoptive, foster, stepchild or grandchild) lives in your household and you are entitled to child benefit or the tax-free child allowance for this child. This is the case when the child
- is still undergoing vocational training,
- waiting for a training place,
- is performing a voluntary social or ecological year or
- is handicapped.
This is also the case if you live together with a person in need of care who is actually not able to participate in the household and who is not a partner in a non-marital relationship or in a registered civil partnership, for example, the mother in need of care or the disabled brother.
The allowance is also granted if you live together with a person who is not financially able to take part in the household and who is not a partner in a non-marital relationship or in a registered civil partnership, for example, the mother or father with only a low pension.
In contrast to the household community, a flat-sharing community (Wohngemeinschaft) does not have any negative effects: this is the case if two people are financially fully independent.

Was the child registered in the common family flat?
Please indicate here whether your child was registered at the shared family home in 2019.
If your child was part of your household or registered at the shared home in 2019, you can claim childcare costs or apply for tax relief for single parents. The tax office will then accept that the child belongs to your household without further proof. The tax relief for single parents will be granted for the period in which the child belonged to the household, provided the remaining conditions are also fulfilled.
Notes:
The child will also be added to your household if he/she was temporarily placed away from home or if the taxpayer lives together with his/her child at the parents' or grandparents' home.
A child can also belong to several households. This is the case, for example, if the parents live separately and the child lives alternately with the two parents. If the parents do not share a common household and if the child is registered with both parents, then the child belongs to both households.
This information is necessary so that SteuerGo can correctly determine the amount of tax relief for single parents.
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 2019.
If your child belonged to your household in the year 2019 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.
Notes:
The child is also included in your household if he/she has been temporarily living away from home or if the taxpayer himself/herself lives with the child, for example, with the parents or grandparents.
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.

Children
Tick this box if you have underage children.
In order for an adult child to be included in your household, a child does not necessarily have to live permanently in your household. It is rather important that there is a family home that is used by the child and that you take responsibility for the welfare of the child. There must also be a family bond between you and the child.
This means that a disabled child living in a nursing home is also part of your household if you bring this child home from time to time. This also applies to children attending educational institutions (studies, professional training, etc.) or children who perform federal volunteer service, live abroad and regularly return to their parents' home. The child must stay in your home for at least six weeks a year.
Tip: If you are not entitled to child benefit or child tax allowances for an adult child, you can claim your maintenance payments for the child as exceptional costs (2016: 721 Euro per month) in the relevant months.
