Dependent with a Disability Exemption tax form!

Hello!
We at Utah Family Voices have received several calls with in the last few weeks inquiring about who was eligible for the Dependent with a Disability Exemption and how to get the form (TC-40D).  This tax exemption has been unavailable for a couple years and I'm willing to bet some schools are out of practice getting the forms out to parents. I happened to have my child's IEP the first week in January and had her teacher sign in then. If you have not heard anything from your child's school feel free to follow the link below and take in the form to have it signed.

Under Part 2, Eligible students with a disability, there are some restrictions.  The requirements are detailed on the second page, but may not be used for students with SLD (specific learning disabilities), ED (emotional disturbances), or SLI (speech and language impairment), due to legislative restriction, which is also listed on the form under Part 2.

Link to the tax form: http://tax.utah.gov/forms/current/tc-40d.pdf

Please call Utah Family Voices at 801-272-1068 if you have any further questions.
