Single taxpayers with at least one child can claim a tax relief amount of 4,260 as part of their income tax assessment. For employees, this amount can already be taken into account as part of the income tax deduction procedure by applying for tax class II. You can find out more about this in the service description "Applying for tax class change for single parents". You can find the link under "Further information" - "Where can I find out more?".
