If you have a child with a severe disability - a learning disability (SLD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), AD/HD, or other physical, mental or emotional impairment - you may qualify for valuable tax benefits. Because tax laws are complex, and many tax preparers often do not have occasion to use these unique tax benefits, families are at risk of losing refunds worth many thousands of dollars. It’s likely that 15-30 percent of families with a disabled child have one or more unclaimed tax benefits. This guide provides a brief summary of the most significant federal income tax benefits and should not be considered legal advice. Tax decisions should not be made simply on the basis of the information provided here. You are advised to print out this guide and provide your tax adviser with a copy. You should also explore potential state income tax benefits, which are too numerous for review in this guide. www.wrightslaw.com/info/tax.2006.benefits.oconnor.htm

Jill did you get down to some of the lower paragraphs it said you could do an amended return for up to the past 3 years. I then got a little further and it said the average return was around $600 and could be up to $3000. I am calling the tax lady and seeing what she has to say. Thanks Misty!
