I received the MI Home Heating Credit in the past but for 2024 TurboTax said I didn't qualify, but I receive SSDI, isn't there a permanent disability exception?

Your SSDI benefits are considered part of your household resources to determine eligibility. If your income is above the income ceiling for the number of your exemptions, then you are disqualified from getting the credit.

On the Form MI-1040CR-7, Line 16b, there is a exemption if you are totally and permanently disabled. However, if you were age 66 by April 30, 2024, you may not claim this exemption on your 2024 return.
