Requirements and conditions to apply the deduction

The educational expenses that give rise to this deduction are those incurred during tax period by the children or descendants for whom they are entitled to the minimum for descendants regulated in the Personal Income Tax Law .

Once the above requirements have been met, only those taxpayers who live with their children or descendants who are enrolled in school on the date the tax is due will be entitled to apply for the deduction.
If the child only lives with one of the parents on the date the tax is due, the deduction can only be applied by him or her and for the total amount of the sums paid by him or her.
However, in the case of joint custody, both parents can apply the deduction, even if the children are not actually living with one of them on the date the tax is due, prorating the amount of the deduction as long as both have borne the daycare expenses. If only one of them has paid the amount, he or she will be the one who can apply the percentage of the deduction on said amount.
If the descendant has died during the tax period, the taxpayer may also apply the deduction, provided that he or she lived with him or her on the date of death.
-
When the minor lives with more than one parent, guardian or adoptive parent , the amount of the deduction will be prorated equally in the declaration of each of them , in the event that they opt for individual taxation.
Therefore, in the event that both parents pay the childcare expenses, if both are entitled to the deduction, each may deduct 20% of the amount paid, with a maximum of 500 euros each, while if only one of them is entitled to it, they could deduct 20% of the amount paid by him, with a maximum limit of 1,000 euros.
Similarly, in the event of the death of the other parent or adoptive parent, if both pay expenses for a child during the year (even if before the death only the deceased paid them), the maximum limit of the deduction will be prorated between them in equal parts.
If the descendant lives with both parents who are married under a community property regime, it is presumed that the expense has been paid by both parents even if the payment could have been made by only one of them. If they file taxes jointly, they can apply the percentage of the deduction to the total amount paid. If they pay taxes separately, the amount of the deduction will be prorated equally between both parties with a limit of 500 euros for each.
On the other hand, if the couple is married under a different regime or is a de facto couple, each member must prove that they have paid the childcare expenses in order to apply the deduction, prorating the limit equally if both are entitled to it. If only one of them has made the payment, he or she will be the only one to apply the deduction.

Taxpayers must retain, for the maximum limitation period, the invoices proving the expenses that entitle them to the deduction.
