CANADIAN IMPEn1AL BANK OF COMMERCE COUNTON ■ . ■E COMMERCE It is expensive to be handicapped In this "International Year of Disabled Persons", people are becoming aware of a bitter truth: it is very ex- pensive to be handicapped. That is why, when tax time comes around, that the disabled should make max- imum- use of all the deduc- tions they are entitled to, to help keep tax to a minimum. One of the deductions specifically designed to reduce the tax burden of the handicapped is the $1,810 deduction for blind persons or those confined to a bed or wheelchair. To be eligible, the taxpayer must have been blind at any time in the year or confined to a bed or wheelchair for a substantial period of time each day for at least 12 consecutive mon- ths. Medical expenses can also be deducted from the income of a`disabled person. This is 'one of the most advan- tageous deductions, since these costs often represent a large part of a disabled per- son's expenses. Ali medical expenses must, of course, be supported by receipts. Remember, however, that a handicapped taxpayer who deducts as medicaLexpenses amounts paid to an .atten- dant or a nursing home can- not also claim the deduction for blind persons or those confined to a wheelchair. Since more than half of the disabled are unemployed, they are often dependent on another taxpayer.. Therefore, anyone who sup- ports a disabled taxpayer may also claim certain ex- emptions and deductions. First, if the handicapped taxpayer does not use all of the $1,810 deduction to reduce taxable income to zero, the . supporting person may claim the unused por- tion. The supporting person may be the spouse, parent or any : other relative - -who - claims the child or equivalent -to -married ex- emption for the disabled per- son, or could have claimed • the deduction' if the disabled person's income did not ex- ceed $2,990. Item 42 in the In- come Tax Guide contains more information on these provisions. A taxpayer may deduct medical expenses paid for a disabled person, provided the person depends on the taxpayer for support or the disabled person's income does not exceed $2,990. If it does the taxpayer deduc- ting the medical expenses must include the excess amount in his own tax. A taxpayer can also claim a deduction of $990 for a wholly dependent child or for a disabled person over 21. Obviously, these deduc- tions and exemptions will not solve all the problems a disabled person must face every -day. But if full use is made of these provisions in completing a tax return, it will be a step in the right direction. L ®K *RINGS •NECKLACES •BRA/CELETS •BEAec eti ra gern3 51 ST.
