Question

multiple choice question
melina’s daughter, linda, is considered permanently and totally disabled. linda is 30 years old and still lives with melina. which of the following statements is accurate regarding the age test for a qualifying child as it applies to linda?
○ linda does not meet the age test because she is not a full - time student.
○ linda is deemed to meet the age test because she is permanently and totally disabled.
○ linda does not meet the age test because she is not under the age of 19.

Explanation:

To determine the correct statement, we analyze the age test for a qualifying child. For a qualifying child, if the child is permanently and totally disabled, the age test (usually under 19 or under 24 and a full - time student) does not apply in the same way. Linda is permanently and totally disabled, so she is deemed to meet the age test. The first option is wrong because her disability affects the age test application, and the third option is wrong as her disability means the age (30) is not the main factor here.

Answer:

B. Linda is deemed to meet the age test because she is permanently and totally disabled.
