An 80 year old Illinois taxpayer can be claimed by someone else as a dependent. How do you complete Illinois line 10a and 10b? Turbo Tax auto fills line 10b with $1000

IL line 10b is $1,000 for the tax return filer over age 65 and their spouse over age 65. There is an "X" next to either you or your spouse.

Line D is for the dependent deduction.

This return is the 80 year old dependents. Can there be zero on line 10a and $1000 on line 10b ?

Oh, yes, because he is not claiming himself so 0 on line 10a. Excellent, it makes sense. He still gets credit for being over 65. It is considered an "additional amount".
