    SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES FOR COMMON-LAW UNIONS

    Common-law unions with children in common

    In these cases, either or both of the parents may choose to form a family unit with all their children. To complete the declaration using the program, it is necessary to distinguish:

    Individual declaration of the other parent:

    If the family unit in the above point pays tax jointly, the other parent will not have to list children in common with income of more than 1,800 euros presenting a joint tax return with the other member of the couple.

    If the family unit in the previous point does not pay taxes jointly and the children with incomes over 1,800 euros do not file an individual return, the other parent will list the children by entering the key "D" in box "Relationship" of their return.
