Eligible for the Elderly Tax Credit?

Feb 18, 2010 Tax Strategies, Taxable Income

Eligible for the Elderly Tax Credit?

Are you 65 or older (or under 65 and disabled)? Are  you a US citizen?  Are you a Single filer with an  adjusted gross income (AGI) less than $17,500?  Is the nontaxable portion of your Social Security or other nontaxable pensions, annuities, or disability income under $5,000?  You need to file Schedule R for a tax credit of $750! Read IRS Publication 524, Credit for the Elderly or Disabled or call 1-800-829-3676 and ask to have a copy mailed to you.

Don’t forget the IRS Helpline – 1-800-829-1040 or your nearest IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center.

If you need help filing your tax return or have questions, call 1-800-906-9887 for an IRS sponsored Tax Counseling for the Elderly. You will be provided free tax preparation and counseling if you are 60 or older and a low to middle income taxpayer. These days, most of us qualify and can use the help!
