I got married abroad few weeks ago. Even though our marriage is not recognized by Revenue yet, I didn't want to lie in mortgage application so specified a new status.

Bank forced us to do joint application but I am the only one working and we have a problem with Help to Buy now. Since its a joint application, Help to Buy should be submitted as a group.

My partner has signed up on a Revenue website but it does not let her apply for Help to Buy because you have to select a year you are claiming tax for. Selecting 2023 results in the error that there is no Statement of Liability. Trying to generate the statement results in the error: You cannot proceed as you had no job or pension on record during the year.

How exactly can I claim Help to Buy with joint application and a spouse without income?
