Schedule R (Form 1040A or 1040), Credit for the Elderly or Disabled

A tax credit may be available to certain low-income individuals if they are at least age 65 or older before the close of the tax year, and to individuals under age 65 if they are retired with a permanent and total disability and have taxable disability income from a public or private employer.

To claim the credit for the elderly or disabled, if you are filing Form 1040A or Form 1040, you must use Schedule R.
