I am trying to make my tax return for 2019 (Have always had an accountant do it but they let me down this year). I am absolutely useless at this stuff and am fumbling in the dark trying to learn from last years return. Have a million questions but firstly
1. Last year I was in receipt of carers benefit of 220pw, totalling €11440 in the year 2019. In the section 'Other taxable Social Welfare Payments, Benefits or Pensions (State Pension, Illness Benefit, Occupational Injury Benefit, Jobseeker’s Benefit, Pre-Retirement Allowance, Maternity Benefit, Paternity Benefit, Adoptive Benefit/Health & Safety Benefit) - do I put that full figure there?
2. The accountant last year put my deductibles (on an admin-based income of €9600) as follows: motor, travel &subsistence-950, repairs/renewals -180, other expenses 821. I've no idea where he plucked these from so should I just leave them there?
Edit to add, I am jointly assessed with my husband.
