I am unaware of a black-on-white legal text that states this. When I was unemployed, I phoned the ZH tax office. The tax officer said that I could deduct the 3a contribution. Reason: recipients of unemployment benefits are paying AHV contributions. I deducted the 3a and my tax return was approved.
Ask your banker to phone the pertinent tax office or write them an eMail.
