Steuerfreibeträge für Kinder unter 18 Jahren beantragen

• For a child under 18 years of age, you can apply for a child allowance.

In the case of family benefit equalisation, child benefit is usually paid during the year. At the end of the calendar year, the tax office checks as part of an assessment for income tax whether a child allowance and an additional allowance for the child's care, education or training needs are to be deducted or whether it remains with the child benefit.

However, the allowances are always taken into account when calculating the solidarity surcharge and the church tax.

The child allowance can be applied for for children who are related to the taxpayer in the first degree.

Under certain conditions, a child allowance for foster children can also be applied for.
