Clarifications:

For the purposes of applying the deduction, the following assumptions must be taken into account, based on the requirements indicated above:

  1. In the case of married taxpayers the deduction may be applied, provided that the taxable bases of both spouses do not exceed 34,000 euros, additionally requiring that both obtain income from work or economic activities.

  2. In the case of de facto couples , the deduction may be applied by the parent who is the employer of the family home, regardless of whether they file taxes individually or jointly, provided that both members of the couple obtain income from work or economic activities and that the sum of the total taxable bases of both does not exceed 34,000 euros, so that the deduction will be applied under the same terms as for married couples.

  3. In the case of separated or divorced parents who have joint custody of their children , the deduction may be applied by the parent (or parents, taking into account that both could appear as employers in the Social Security as they live in different households) who appear as the employers of the family household, regardless of whether they file taxes individually or jointly, provided that the parent in question (and, where applicable, his or her spouse or de facto partner) obtains income from work or economic activities and that his or her total taxable income (or that of the family unit of which he or she is a part) does not exceed 34,000 euros.

  4. In the case of married taxpayers who have died during year they may apply the deduction by being part of a cohabitation unit with their spouse on the date of death, provided that both have obtained income from work or economic activities and that the sum of the total taxable bases of both does not exceed 34,000 euros. The same criteria would apply if the deceased were part of a de facto couple.

  5. In the case of unmarried taxpayers (widowed, separated, divorced or single) who have sole custody of their children the deduction will be applicable if they appear as the employer of the family home, regardless of whether they pay taxes individually or jointly, provided that they obtain income from work or economic activities and that their total taxable base does not exceed 34,000 euros.

  6. In the case of unmarried taxpayers with descendants other than children who appear as employers of the family home, they may apply the deduction in accordance with the criteria of the previous letters that are applicable.
