1. Federal deductions.
2. Cantonal deductions.
If so, where is the official list for the first and the second one? I see a lot of general guides on the Internet, but no official source.
Is there an official list of all possible tax deductions for people living in canton Zurich? Don't know if my German skills suck that much, but I couldn't find a complete list specific to Zurich. Are we supposed to gather that from two sources:
There is no such thing as Federal deductions.
Here for Zurich and it's the official source;

Click on "Abzüge" and then deeple is your friend.
Federal:
https://www.moneyland.ch/en/tax-deductions-switzerland
"More than 100 possible tax deductions are available in Switzerland, with some being broadly applicable while others only apply to a very limited number of situations. In Switzerland, taxes are levied on federal, cantonal and municipal levels. Federal income tax deductions are identical for all taxpayers."
Kri, thanks a lot, that is exactly what I was looking for!
I forgot to add why I ask already, although we have time until the end of March. The reason is - if you deduct a lot and don't want to wait two years for the canton to send you your money back, please do the following:
- bring your tax declaration to your municipality office by until the end of February. In that way you could be calculated by the municipality, which is faster, which in effects brings your return way sooner.
Good luck!
