First time doing a return to revenue for rental income. I have checked this website for info and have a fairly good idea of what is allowed for deductions and so on.

Question I have is, spouse and I are both PAYE workers. I have to do a return for 2011 and 2012. Can I complete both on ROS? How do I register for ROS, it keeps asking me for a tax registration no. I have the TR1 form but a lot of it does not seem to apply. Should I be completing Form 12 manually for 2011 as the net will be less than the 3K approx limit and completing the 2012 details on ROS as that year will exceed the limit.

Sorry for the Q's but rang revenue and was put through to 2 different sections who gave me conflicting advice.

Thanks in advance.
 
You will have to fill out that tr1 form before you do anything else and I'd do it asap if I were you.I went in to the tax office in o Connell street originally in mid-july to find out exactly what I needed to do to declare my rental income (my first year also) and I was only able to log on to ROS for the first time earlier this week.
I was told to fill out the tr1 form,the girl briefly guided me through it but didn't go in to too much detail.I filled out the form as best I could and sent it in a week later.2 weeks later I heared nothing so I called in to the tax office again and they said sometimes it takes a bit longer than 2 weeks.I left it another 2 weeks and called in again and they said it shouldn't have taken 4 weeks and I might have to fill the form out again.:mad:
I took a ticket and went upstairs and a really helpful guy went through the whole form with me and showed me what sections to fill out.within a week I heared back and was then able to start the ROS registration process.
Don't know what happened to the original form,either it went missing or they just binned it cos it wasn't filled out properly.
I'd advise you to go in and make sure you have the form filled out properly before submitting it.
 
Thanks for that superfan, will get TR1 off asap. Any ideas on whether I should be doing 2011 return manually on Form 12 anyway, ROS registered or not?

To be honest I don't know,totally new to all this.
I'm planning on doing it through ROS and that's only because it calculates the liability for you.
 
I'm in the same boat at the moment too. Do you mind me asking what you actually filled in on the tr1?

Did you fill in section A4 where it asks for business details?
And Part B where it asks you to indicate your main source of income - my main source of income is my job (i.e. PAYE), my rental income is barely over the €3K threshold so should I be ticking "rental income" or "other" specifying that my PAYE job is my main source of income.
