Child and Family Tax Credit MASS Tax Return

[GPCPA100]

MASS on line 46 Family and Child tax credit. MASS says:

Overview

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?

Having to vote to get software errors corrected is a piss poor way of doing business.

And we all know the votes are meaningless.

An upvote is not required.  This issue is currently in progress with our development team. I was the agent that handled the email support case and reported it to them.  I am checking its progress daily and will continue to monitor it.  As soon as I see that it is fixed, I will come back to this post and the other one with a response to let you know.
