Submission Date

  • Filing date: Check your case documentation for specific deadlines. Generally, submit this as soon as you know a child qualifies as an additional dependent.
  • Preparation window: collect IDs, supporting records, and signatures in advance.
  • Final review: verify names, dates, and required fields before submission.

Common confusion points

Confusing this form with the main declaration—you are *adding* to an existing list, not starting from scratch.

Thinking you must fill out a new form for every single child instead of using one master sheet.

Not knowing if the details need to match exactly what is on your Revenue Online Service records.

Forgetting that even if the main application was submitted months ago, this supplementary detail needs to be formally filed.
