"disabled" child and taxes
I am using Turbotax this year and wondered if I should check the box that asks if your child was disabled. I tried to read the definition, but it was confusing. Is anyone clear on the rules/guidelines for this? I don't want to post the disability here, but I am asking for info on what kind of documentation I need, what the criteria are, etc. I tried to do some research, but got confused as much of the info pertains to adults, and this is very clearly in the child section (when you are asked about your dependents). It looks like I wouldn't get a federal credit, but I could get a state credit.
Thanks!
