The Gateway: Maximizing the Impact of the Disability Tax Credit
In addition to reducing income tax through a non-refundable credit, the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) serves as a gateway to a wide range of additional tax benefits and government programs. Eligibility for the DTC can unlock enhanced credits, financial supplements, and long-term savings opportunities that go well beyond the tax return. Understanding how the DTC connects to these broader supports is essential for maximizing financial stability—both for individuals living with disabilities and the family members who support them. Unfortunately, many taxpayers miss this credit and their tax and financial advisors can certainly help when this happens.Evelyn Jacks: When Are You In The Business Of Buying and Selling Land?
