online self assessment and covid working from home claim

Riotle

I have seen several threads relating to completing the SA102 form for claiming working at home, but I am just using the automatic online form on the government self assessment site as I need to repay child benefit and the form does not have a box 20. Should I still use the micro-application  as well. I cannot see any appropriate place for placing it on this form??

No, you just need to tailor your return correctly.

How did you answer the question about claiming employment related expenses?

there seams to be an info part with ref to a p11d which i don't receive especially for the new working from home claim. There are no boxes there to complete as far as i can see

What about the section at the beginning where you are asked questions which establish which parts of the return you require?

Riotle

ok, i found a place and it brings up a number of boxes including 'other expenses' Do i just put the £312 in there?

On what basis do you think you can claim £6/week for the previous tax year?

Riotle

I thought that the working from home payment for COVID. That is what the threads on here are telling those who use a sa102 to enter

Riotle

I was led to belive that that was cklaimable now. i appreciate it was not the previos tax year. As i cannot use teh micro form as i self asess, where do i claim it from
