I am in a similar position, revenue told me we were recorded as being married but not being jointly assessed. Will the revenue give a refund or will the back dated tax credits be allocated in the future? Thanks
Yes, revenue will let you go back 4 years to claim refunds. I have found the revenue to be very good on the phone when I have rang them in the last year.
Just to be clear, credits can be backdated during the 4-year review period.
However joint assessment cannot. The election must be claimed during the year.
The OP had already elected for joint assessment for 2018, which appears to have been applied on week-one basis. For that reason he can claim for it to be applied for the full year.
However if say a couple married in 2017, but did not elect for joint assessment until 2019, joint assessment could not be claimed for 2018.
