Tax specifics in everyday family life

Various factors play a role in a family's tax return. Who is the main earner? How are childcare costs deducted? What about alimony payments, joint accounts, or moving to a new residence? Family changes, such as marriage, separation, the birth of a child, or changes in custody arrangements, also directly impact taxes.

Additional challenges arise with shared custody, single-parent status, or the distribution of deductions. The situation becomes more complex with different income levels, multiple insurance policies, or property ownership. Furthermore, deductions and allowances differ depending on the canton.

We help families correctly reflect their individual life situations in their tax returns, ensuring that all deductions and reliefs are applied.

Frequently asked questions

We answer common questions about family tax returns here, including those about deductions, how they are shared, and special family situations.

Do we need to file a joint tax return or separate ones?

As of 2025, married or registered couples must continue to file a joint tax return. Unmarried couples, single parents, and separated parents must each file their own return. In these cases, it is important to note who claims the child on their tax return, as this determines who is entitled to the child tax credit or childcare deductions. This is usually based on the child’s primary residence or the custody agreement.

What tax deductions can be claimed for children?

In most cases, you can claim deductions per child for childcare costs, insurance, education, and a general child allowance. The exact amount and distribution depend on the canton and childcare arrangement.

How are childcare costs treated in the tax return?

Childcare expenses, such as daycare, babysitters, and after-school programs, are often tax-deductible. In most cases, both parents must be employed or enrolled in an educational program. The exact limits vary by canton.

How are tax deductions for supporting adult children in education handled?

In many cantons, support payments for adult children in education can be partially deducted. Typically, the child must either live in the same household or depend on financial support.

How are alimony and maintenance payments treated for tax purposes?

Maintenance payments to children or former partners are often tax-deductible, provided they are contractually agreed upon and actually paid. In most cases, the recipient must report these payments as taxable income.
