Tax deduction codes: table description
Let's consider frequently used tax deduction codes when filling out the 2-NDFL certificate (from 2022, instead of the 2-NDFL certificate, an application is filled out as part of the 6-NDFL calculation):
- 126 - code that is indicated when providing a standard deduction for a child under 18 years of age or a full-time student under 24 years of age in the amount of 1,400 rubles.
- 127 - standard deduction in the same amount provided for the 2nd child.
- 311 - property deduction for the purchase of housing, if the employee has expressed a desire to receive this deduction through the employer.
- 320 - social deduction for employee expenses on their own training.
- 321 - social tax for children's education.
ATTENTION! If an employee has brought several notifications, for example, about the right to property and social deductions, a separate page of the 2-NDFL certificate is filled out for each of them. On the second and subsequent pages, only the fields “TIN”, “KPP”, “Page”, “Certificate number”, “Reporting year”, “Characteristic”, “Adjustment number”, “Submitted to the tax authority (code)” are filled in. “Notification type code”, “Notification number”, “Date of issue of the notification” and “Code of the tax authority that issued the notification”.
What if the employee did not receive the benefit?
It happens that the employee did not know that he was entitled to any personal income tax benefit. It is likely that he either was not informed about this or did not provide documents in a timely manner. In this case, he can return the amount he overpaid to the tax authorities.
To do this, you need to provide a package of documents to the tax service. Deduction codes 126 and 127 in the 3-NDFL declaration will also have to be indicated if suitable deductions are made under this value.
It is also necessary to take a certificate from your place of work in form 2-NDFL, as well as copies of the children’s birth certificates, and, if necessary, a certificate from their place of study. It is worth remembering that you can only return amounts for the last three years. That is, in 2022 you can receive money for 2014, 2015, 2016.
Deduction codes 126 and 127 will appear in the declaration automatically if you specify them in a specific tab in the program provided by the Tax Service website. If the return is carried out over several years, then several declarations will have to be drawn up, separately for each year.
What are tax deduction codes for?
The tax deduction code is a digital code. A deduction is an amount that, if there are documented grounds, can be reasonably deducted from the tax base, thereby reducing not only it, but also the amount of tax accrued from this base.
The deduction code is required when filling out Appendix No. 1 to the calculation of 6-NDFL, an employee:
- a tax agent reporting form on the payment of income and the amount of tax withheld from it;
- tax agent reporting form on unwithheld tax on income paid;
- a document confirming the amount and types of income received by the taxpayer at the place of work, and the amount of personal income tax paid by him when applying to various authorities (for example, for a new job, to the Federal Tax Service, bank).
Find out whether the deduction code should be indicated in the application for its receipt from the sample compiled by ConsultantPlus experts, having received trial access to the system.
List of documents required to apply for a child benefit
A standard deduction for children is issued by a tax agent for an employee, subject to writing an appropriate application and providing a certain package of documents. Knowing that some employees have children does not oblige the landlord to apply this basis for reducing the tax base; supporting documents are needed. Why? Because a tax deduction can be issued not only through the employer, but also through the Federal Tax Service or, for example, the second spouse receives a double deduction. To avoid illegal situations, confirmation of the right to reduce the amount of personal income tax for minors is required.
The application is written in free form, addressed to the manager, indicating the basis for the deduction, the full name of the children and the year of their birth.
The following package of documents is attached to the form:
- taxpayer passport;
- children's birth certificate or passport if they are over 14 years old;
- documents confirming the disability group;
- papers on adoption (adoption, guardianship, trusteeship)
- Students require a certificate from the dean's office confirming this fact.
The employer may require additional official documents, for example, to certify that the minor lives with the applicant.
At the same time, according to the letter from the Federal Tax Service, re-submission of documents if the situation in the family has not changed is not required. In most cases, the landlord only requests a document for the child and an application.

How can you calculate your tax?
If an employee wants to check his tax himself, then he must know how to calculate it correctly. In general, the entire amount of his salary is multiplied by thirteen percent or by 0.13.
However, if an employee has the right to a tax deduction and has provided a full package of documents, then he should not be taxed on the entire amount of his salary, but only part of it.
Deduction codes 126 and 127 assume, for example, that an employee who has a first or second minor child has the right to a deduction in the amount of 1,400 rubles. If there are two children, then the amount doubles. However, it is necessary to bring all documents for children on time. Otherwise, the lost amounts will have to be returned through the tax authorities and only for a certain period.
Deduction codes for non-taxable income
Deductions for non-taxable income have not changed. However, they also appear in the 2-NDFL certificate quite often, so it makes sense to recall their list:
- codes 501 and 502 - deductions for the value of gifts given at work and prizes received at competitions;
- codes 503 and 504 - deductions for payment of financial assistance to employees and reimbursement of the cost of medicines;
- code 505 - deduction for prizes received as a result of participation in promotional events;
- code 506 - deduction for financial assistance paid to a disabled person by a public organization of disabled people;
- code 507 - deduction for financial assistance or gift given to a WWII participant;
- code 508 - deduction for financial assistance at the birth (adoption) of a child.
- code 509 - deduction for income issued by products to an employee of an agricultural producer;
- code 510 - deduction for additional savings contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation paid by the employer for the taxpayer.
Legal grounds
It must be remembered that the type of certificate in question acts as an annex to the approved Order of the Federal Tax Service dated October 2015.
Every year, the tax authority makes various changes and additions to the document, which makes it necessary to study the Order for any adjustments, including the issue of amendments to the filling procedure and the BCC in particular.
If you use an outdated form, this may further affect the procedure for applying for a loan or the accuracy of filling out a tax return.
In the case of tax reporting for this year, the Federal Tax Authority approved the Order dated January 2022, which included amendments to the above Order.
At the same time, taking into account the amendments to the form in form 2-NDFL, they were approved late, which is why the inspectorate was forced to allow the filling out of income certificates not only using the new form, but also the old one.
In general, the amendments that were made to the document under consideration directly relate to the accounting service:
- as employers;
- as well as private entrepreneurs.
However, they may also be of interest to ordinary categories of taxpayers.
Investment deduction codes
The bulk of these deductions are associated with operations that have a fairly limited distribution. Their codes are used by professional participants in the securities market to compile 2-NDFL certificates. Most regular employers do not require these codes.
Among this group, only deduction code 601 for dividend income may be of interest to an ordinary employer. From January 2022, as noted above, a new investment deduction with code 619 was introduced.
Results
Deductions allow you to reduce the tax base for personal income tax. All deductions are encrypted with special codes, which are recorded in the 2-NDFL certificate. The last code update was at the end of 2022.
