従事月数・程度・仕事の内容

Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs / Tax filing
Japanese term or phrase: 従事月数・程度・仕事の内容
I have several questions regarding a Japanese tax filing, the 所得税及び復興特別所得税の確定申告書B. One of these has to do with the part where the taxpayer is asked to provide information on spouse and blood relatives (配偶者や親族に関する事項 ). One of the headings reads 従事月数・程度・仕事の内容 and the choices given are 同一 and 別居. Hard to reproduce layout here, but it looks somewhat like this:
….| 従事月数・程度・仕事の内容 |….
….| 同一 | 別居 | ….

Normally, I would assume that 従事 here refers to employment or an occupation, so I’d assume something like “Number of months engaged in, degree, and nature of work” for 従事月数・程度・仕事の内容. However, given that the subjects are spouse/relatives, I’ve got to assume that 同一 / 別居 is asking whether the taxpayer lives with, or separately from, this person. To my way of thinking, this would not seem to have any relationship with whether the taxpayer lives with, or separately from, their spouse or relative.

So can somebody tell me what exactly 従事月数・程度・仕事の内容 refer to, and how it is related to 同一 and 別居?

Thank you.

Explanation:
Honestly, I can't really see a relationship between the two here either and think these might just be independent of each other. Again, it is hard to tell as I can't see the specific layout of the document but even then they both just come off as independent of each other to me. Can't be of much help in that regard but if it helps at all, the three terms "従月数・程度・仕事の内容" refer to "Number of working months", "degree of work" (might mean hours/days of work, how intensively they were engaged with the work) and "nature of work" is self explanatory.

Reference: Tax Return Form

Reference information:
Please refer to page 15 of the web site below for the form that includes "従月数・程度・仕事の内容" and "同一・別居", page 18 for the meaning of "従月数・程度・仕事の内容", and page 35 for the meaning of "同一・別居". The former relates to deduction from income for wages for family employee(s) and the latter relates to the inhabitant tax that has no relationship with the former.
