If you are a parent of a special needs child, regardless of their age, you may be entitled to tax exemptions you are not aware of.
According to a recent article in the Journal of Accountancy, “15% to 30% of families with a disabled child have one or more unclaimed tax benefits. Among these potential tax benefits are deductions or credits for the dependency exemption, medical expenses, special instruction, capital expenditures for medically required home improvements, impairment-related work expenditures, and the earned income tax credit.”
The article in the Accountancy Journal, “Potential Income Tax Benefits for Families With Special Needs Children,” provides detailed guidance to aid parents in maximizing their tax exemptions.
