If you qualify, the law provides a number of credits that can reduce the tax you owe for a year. One of these credits is the credit for the elderly
or the disabled.
This chapter explains:
- Who qualifies for the credit for the elderly or the disabled, and
- How to figure this credit.
The maximum credit available is $1,125. You may be able to take this credit if you are:
- Age 65 or older, or
- Retired on permanent and total disability.
