JB - Document Request

Seems unusual to be requested for such documentation, JB is not means tested and based on your own contributions, so why the Department looking for your spouses tax returns is a mystery, unless you worked for your spouse and there's an issue with your own contributions in 2020🤔

Have you checked your own contributions, are you a Paye worker 🤔 if you are, you should be able to check your own contributions for 2020 on mywelfare .

Just seems odd your being requested for your spouses tax returns

I'm not sure were you find your spouse's tax returns in ROS, there is a taxation forum, very helpful posters there that might be able to point you in the right direction if no one can help on this forum

Again, why is OP required to submit Spouses Tax returns for their own JB application, maybe I'm missing something, but the spouses tax returns shouldn't be required unless for the reasons I've outlined, just seems very odd 🤔

Hi!

2 questions

1. is your wife self employed? (You mention ROS )
2. did you ask for her to be considered your Qualified Adult or to add your dependent children to your payment? If the answer is yes then they will need her latest tax return to means test her.

Hopefully he’ll fill us in later. It’s interesting when it’s a bit of a mystery

😏 I was just focused on OP applying for JB and was a little confused as to the requirements for extra documentation, but I see now , possibly why 😏

Ah well then disregard my advice, self employed so a Form 11 via ROS but it should be done already. We had a client last year who was told by social welfare she still needed to submit her 2019 tax return even though she had already done it, but that was for her own claim, no dependents (we sent her back with the as filed copy and heard no more so I assume it was sorted).
