If your son is an age to qualify as your dependent, then he would not be eligible for any additional credits due to disability. However, if he is otherwise qualified but past the age for the credit, then if he is permanently and totally disabled, he may continue to qualify for credits.
The IRS states:
A person has a permanent and total disability if both of the following apply:
- They can’t engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical or mental condition and
- A doctor determines their condition:
- Has lasted continuously for at least a year or
- Will last continuously for at least a year or
- Can lead to death
You can use the IRS self-help tool to see if your son might qualify.
