Are there any credits/tax breaks for employed arm amputees?

There is essentially no special credit* or deduction for being disabled. The primary tax effect of disability is to allow an adult child to qualify as a "qualifying child" dependent past age 18 (23 if a full time student).

*There is a credit for the elderly or disabled (you don't have to be both). But because it has not been adjusted for inflation since 1983, very very few people qualify. It is not a refundable credit. That is, you must have a tax liability to offset to get the credit. Very few people, with that little income have an actual tax to offset.
