Who can help the disabled find tax deductions?

The first question I would ask is, is there income taxable?  Social Security Disability isnt taxable, if there is no other income.

Call 1-800-829-3676 and ask for publication #17. Look up Itemized deductions. You are entering into a 1040 situation, long form and will have to learn how to master Schedules A-E which allow you to deduct charitable expenses and business expense. Of course the more you make the harder it is to deduct charitible expenses. You make more money and chance to itemize gets harder as you have to spend more to surpass tax ceilings. Itemizing is not just a charitable section, you will have to do you business and casualty, and medical calculations as well. All of that will go against your standard deduction to see which deduction is greater itemized or standard. And if you are married and filing separately your spouse will have to do the same thing, so this may be more work tan it is worth and it may hurt eiter you or her. As for the business thing, it is possible to deduct the part of house used as an office if and only if you do business in person with customers out of that office and it is not against your deed restrictions to do business with customers in your house. Anything that is otherwise illegal is not tax deductible. Of course you will have to prorate your house expenses to calculate how much you can deduct, and once again it goes towards that itemized versus standardized question of which is greater. In the end you may find out that you wasted your time. Plus, the more forms you fill out the more likely you are to be audited. So, you may want to seek an expert. The IRS will answer your questions at 1-800-829-4477, if not immediately within a couple of days, especially if it is a complicated question. Good Luck, and remember the liability for your filing lies squarely on your shoulders unless you get a tax preparer to do it for you and they sign the forms accordingly. Computer tax programs may help but they are only as rliable as the information you feed into them

Try calling a local Center For People With Disabilities Office, or a Center for Independent Living, Vocational Rehabilitation, something like that, the names are different everywhere.  I'm sure there is one in your area.  They can help someone with a condition to get employment.
