are grouped as Tabs cards on the one screen
See Individual return instructions on the ATO website for further information.
The worksheets for Invalid and invalid carer and invalid relatives are grouped as tabs on one screen. These tabs are as follows:
A spouse can be married or de facto, but must be residing with and maintained by you. If you have more than one spouse during the income year a part year rebate may be claimed for each.

An offset of $2,666 is available for each invalid spouse and invalid carer you maintain. No offset is available if the invalid has ATI of less than $286. A reduced offset will be calculated for ATI over $285 and will shade out at $1 for every $4 over $285 ($10,946).
This offset is subject to the Adjusted Taxable Income (ATI) test. If your ATI exceeds $100,000 and there will be no offset to claim at T6 and no Notional invalid carer offset available for Zone tax offset purposes at T4.
Additional fields are available where there is shared care.

This offset is subject to the Adjusted Taxable Income (ATI) test. If the family ATI exceeds $100,000, or the dependent's ATO exceeds $10,946, this offset will be disallowed and will not then form part of the Base Amount for Zone offset purposes.
