She only receives $216. She is "emotionally challenged"
She cannot hold onto a job due to being a bipolar insomniac, extremely depressed, ADHD, dyslexic, learning disabilities and sotos syndrowe. We have filed three times for disability and now are going to hire a lawyer and process with a hearing.
She has been under doctors care since she was 3 years old. We have tons of medical records on her. Are their any sites to help me?
Myself I would get a tax lawyer or a personal finance advisor. I might start off first by calling the IRS for some badic information. Then I would sit down with the following people : DVR to see what services they have that are beneficial for her. What other services and / or agencies can they direct you to, private, state and federal. Will it matter if getting the services are based on your income or yours. What other financial entitlements is your daughter entittled to ? She has it seems multi mental health diagnoses and a learning disability. There are services out there from organizations devoted to each of her diagnosises. At the end of the day it is not soley about taxes. It is more important that steps are taken so she can realize the best income source for her that would also allow her to receive all the services she can get along with any extra funds, grants. The goal is to for her quality of life to be improved. You do not want to have to pass up because it was your income they went by. In the end you might wind up taking more money out your own pocket by going for a tax break. I do not know for sure so do your research carefully.
