It's tax time again! The 1st form at the link below you can have completed by your PCP. It's a $500 tax CREDIT for those with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, Down Syndrome, Spina Bifida, and Intellectual Disability (look at the form to see if you are eligible). This form is good for 5 years, so keep a copy!
Form AR1000RC5 at bit.ly/2nsqzzI The 2nd form doesn't need your PCP's signature. It's a $500 tax DEDUCTION for those with disabilities (again, see the form to determine eligibility). This one needs to be submitted yearly. Form AR1000DC at bit.ly/2BDBdZy Some may also qualify for this one: A credit of up to $2,400.00, per year, per child, is allowed to individuals or to families with a dependent child or children with Phenylketonuria (PKU) , Galactosemia, Organic Acidemias, and Disorders of Amino Acid Metabolism for expenses incurred for the purchase of medically necessary foods and low protein modified food products. Does not require PCP signature. Form AR1113 at bit.ly/2EnpCAI If you’re just now finding out about these credits & deductions, you can go back & claim the past 3 yrs also. It’s very easy. You may complete these forms for EACH child you have that qualifies. Please look at the forms at each of the links to determine your eligibility.

Thanks so much for the list of tax credits and what a person must have to qualify for it. I have a friend whose mom has various mental disorders and she's been looking into applying for some tax credits but she doesn't know which ones she qualifies for. We'll have to look into helping her find a consultant to help her go through and understand each disability tax credit.
