JSA on Tax return

curtis122

Just going through my tax return and I claimed JSA twice last year. I've had one other employment as well as the 2 JSA.

I've selected YES at the question, "Did you recieve any State benefits" in 'Part 2' of the 'About You' section at the start but from flicking through the rest of the form I can't see that adds any extra to fill in.

Should it be giving me an extra part to complete? I have my 2 P45's from my JSA and on the 'This Benefit claim' I have in the  'Total taxable benefit in the period' field an amount. Should I be entering this anywhere on my form?

Also when I check my 'Employments' on HMRC it shows under 'Your income from employment' and shows my actual job I had and the 2 JSA stints but under the JSA it shows £0.00 for both. So does that mean I do not have anything to enter for any JSA as the total showing for the job I had is the same as whats on my P60 and thats what I entered on my tax return for that employment.

You need to enter taxable Jobseeker's Allowance on the return i.e. if you received £100 but your Personal Tax Account shows £0 then you still need to enter £100 on your return.

Sounds like you have tailored your return ok.

On the paper return it is box 15, not sure if the numbering corresponds on the online version.

See this is where it confuses me a bit as on HMRC when looking at 'Your Taxable Income for 6th April 2020 to 5th April 2021' It shows my one job I had that year and the amount as I said matched whats on my P60 that I received from them but as stated the 2 JSA's that are showing are saying £0.00. 

Given its showing me on that page 'My taxable Income' for the year why would the JSA not show the amount on the P45?

Don't know to be honest.  What do the P45's show in the Pay in this employment box?
