SpouseChoose Yes if you have a spouse (married or de facto) and have claimed a Medicare levy reduction on a Medicare levy variation declaration with your employer.
Senior or pensioner (SAPTO)
Claiming the seniors and pensioners tax offsetThe seniors and pensioners tax offset (SAPTO) lowers tax for people who have reached age pension age or get certain government pensions. If you've claimed it with your employer, pick your situation. Illness-separated means you and your spouse live apart because of illness or because one of you is in aged care.
