Use the IRS website to see if you are eligible for the Elderly or Disabled credit - https://www.irs.gov/help/ita/do-i-qualify-for-the-credit-for-the-elderly-or-disabled

If you qualified for the credit for the elderly or disabled, you would find it on Schedule R and on Line 6d of Schedule 3. It is a nonrefundable credit; that is, you would only receive it as a credit against tax you would otherwise owe.

 

The total of your nonrefundable credits from Schedule 3 appears on Line 20 of your Form 1040.

 

You can view your entire return or just your 1040 form before you e-file. In TurboTax Online:

  1. Sign in to your TurboTax account.
  2. Open or continue your return.
  3. Select Tax Tools from the menu (if you don't see this, select the menu icon in the upper-left corner).
  4. With the Tax Tools menu open, you can then:
    • Preview your entire return: Select Print Center and then Print, save or preview this year's return (you may be asked to register or pay first).
    • View only your 1040 form: Select Tools. Next, select View Tax Summary in the pop-up, then Preview my 1040 in the left menu.

 

See this TurboTax tips article for more information about the credit for the elderly or disabled.
