Supporting parents during studies and then earning own income.
Hello, my parents supported me as a student from January to July with 700.00 euros per month, as I did not receive any other benefits. (I successfully completed my studies at the end of July and have a small apartment of my own.)
Since August, I have been employed as a worker and have my own income. (approximately 10,700 euros gross for 2012 and I have paid approximately 1,270.00 euros in income tax.)
Question: Do I have to declare the 7 x 700 euros in my tax return? If my parents also declare this in their return? If yes, in which section/column?
Question: Can I claim the travel expenses to the university as a deduction? (January - July)
