Hi,

I got married in 2005 and although I did complete the form for mortgage relief I am not sure if we correctly applied to be assessed for income tax as a couple.

It is only really a issue for 2007 and this year as my wife has worked very little - I got a P21 from revenue when reclaiming medical expenses recently, it gives 34k at 20% (for the previous year it was 32k).

It would appaer that I didn't get the balance of my wifes credits - I will ring the revenue to discuss, but does any one know off hand if I can claim for previous years credits? - It can be done for expenses.

My wife did receive maternity benefit in 2007, but I would have thought that this is treated as income and taken off the balance of any credits that are transferable.

Regards.
