Legally blind tax credit

I am doing my parents taxes on TurboTax.  There is just one question at the beginning of the program that asks if they are legally blind.  I answered yes to both Mom and Dad.  Is that the only place I need to enter this information?  I did not see a related question in the tax credit section.

Legally blind tax credit

There is not a credit for being blind; however, you do get an extra exemption:

  • If you were born before January 2, 1952; or
  • If you were blind.

If both items apply, you get 2 extra exemptions.  Each exemption is a $4,050 reduction in taxable income.
