You may be able to claim the child and family credit on your Massachusetts personal income tax return if you're taking care of a:

• Child
• Dependent or spouse with a disability, or
• Dependent age 65 or over.

My clients husband is 91 and disabled. There is know where in Lacerte to mark the client as disabled. There suggestion was in screen 2 there is a disabled check box  to check and they say that is why the box is there but by doing that that it wants you to create a dependent  and changes the calculations that are not correct.  I also called the MA DOR and they agreed the taxpayer is eligible.   Am I missing something? Anyone have any suggestions?
