What considerers a taxpayers dependent disabled? What if the 50-year-old hasn't worked our filed taxes in years and is an alcoholic? Let me know..... Or is he just an non qualifying person
What does the IRS consider totally and permanently disabled?
A person is permanently and totally disabled if both of the following apply: He or she cannot engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical or mental condition, and. A doctor determines that the condition has lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at least a year or can lead to death.
I wouldnt, unless you have some kind of documentation that says hes disabled. I had to prove this to IRS for a disabled adult dependent that qualified the TP for EITC.
