I have a disabled adult child and I don't know if I should check the box that he is disabled on my taxes, please advise.
Hi,
I have a 20 year old son who is intellectually disabled. He is in his school's adult transition program and receives SSI. When filling out my taxes I am unsure whether to mark him disabled or not as I don't fully understand the criteria. My son will be capable of working, but will be unable to do so without support from a job coach. He will always need assistance with whatever work he will do post graduating from his program. I am unsure if this would qualify him as the IRS category of disabled. He is unable to live on his own and will always need assistance in his daily life. Any clarification would be great, thanks.
