Tax exemption inquiry for solo parent

Requested from BIR by M. Zapanta at 01:47 PM on Jan 31, 2022.
Purpose: To check if I am eligible for tax exemption

Zapanta 01:47 PM, Jan 31, 2022 

Hi there,

I am a solo parent with 4 kids all minors, I’m unmarried and not receiving any child support from the fathers since our separation. I’m working for a private company earning above 250,000 but not over 400,000 annually. My expenses covers our apartment (7,500) and other bills, we are living alone and doesn’t have relatives living with us to share the cost. My kids are all studying online and with our increasing expenses my tax each pay out (15days) is ranging from 2,600 up to 3,000 which is quite very high and too much for me. I’m inquiring if I’m eligible for tax exemption.
