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 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 a full - time student. linda does not meet the age test because she is not under the age of 19.

Explanation:

To determine the correct statement about Linda meeting the age test for a qualifying child, we analyze each option:

• The first option: For a qualifying child, if a person is permanently and totally disabled, the age test (usually under 19 or under 24 as a full - time student) does not apply. Since Linda is permanently and totally disabled, she is deemed to meet the age test.
• The second option: The age test exemption for being a full - time student is separate from the disability exemption. Linda's disability is the key factor here, not her student status (and there's no indication she's a student), so this reason is incorrect.
• The third option: The age limit (under 19 or under 24 as a full - time student) is waived for those who are permanently and totally disabled. So Linda being over 19 (she is 30) does not mean she fails the age test because of her disability.

Answer:

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