Are you 65 or older (or under 65 and disabled)? Are  you a US citizen?  Are you a Single filer with an  adjusted gross income (AGI) less than $17,500?  Is the nontaxable portion of your Social Security or other nontaxable pensions, annuities, or disability income under $5,000?  You need to file Schedule R for a tax credit of $750! Read IRS Publication 524, Credit for the Elderly or Disabled or call 1-800-829-3676 and ask to have a copy mailed to you.

Don’t forget the IRS Helpline – 1-800-829-1040 or your nearest IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center.
