Worksheet 2 will help you to complete F, G and H item A3 by separating out deductions from joint income and identifying business deductions.
Step 1 Complete column (b) in worksheet 2 by transferring the appropriate amount from your 2017 tax return for the items listed in column (a).
Step 2 For each amount in column (b), write the amounts in columns (c), (d), (e) or (f).
Apportion each amount in column (b) into columns (c), (d), (e) and (f) depending on the source of the income to which the deduction applies. If the deduction relates to income that came from:
- a trust, show the amount in column (c)
- you individually, show the amount in column (c) or (d) as appropriate
- a partnership, show the amount in worksheet 4
- a joint income group, show the amount in column (e) or (f) as appropriate
- if you have more than one joint income group duplicate columns (e) and (f) on a separate sheet of paper.
From (b) work out how much of that deduction relates to solely earned and jointly earned income across these columns.
