My husband is 63 but has been retired for over 2 years. He receives no Social Security because he does not want to collect until he is 65 and has chosen no to collect his 401k and has rolled it over to a retirement account to a bank institution. Does he qualify for the "Elderly Credit"?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
To qualify for the Credit for the Elderly or the Disabled, an individual must meet the following criteria:
You are a qualified individual for this credit if you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, and either of the following applies.
1. You were age 65 or older at the end of 2018.
2. You were under age 65 at the end of 2018 and all
three of the following statements are true.
a. You retired on permanent and total disability (explained later).
b. You received taxable disability income for 2018.
c. On January 1, 2018, you had not reached mandatory retirement age (defined later under Disability
income).
