Tax Credits

Hi, I was calculating my tax credits and im entitled to some. However I live with my dad and my older brother who both work.

On the section where it says 'your household income' does that mean only my income or does it mean me, my dads and my brothers income combined.

When I put only my income I am entitled to tax credits but when I put mine, my dads and my brothers income combines im not entitles to tax credits.

Can someone explain this to me, cheers

    You don't need to include them. Just you and your "partner" if you have one, eg wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend that you live with.
