Based on pre-fill information, we have made the selection for you. If your circumstances are different for 2016–17, you must change your answer.

If you had a spouse at any time between 1 July 2016 and 30 June 2017, select Yes. You will then need to provide your spouse details on the Prepare return screen.

Your spouse includes another person (of any sex) who:

  • you were in a relationship with that was registered under a prescribed state or territory law
  • although not legally married to you, lived with you on a genuine domestic basis in a relationship as a couple.
