Nonresident Aliens
Who Can Take the Credit
If you were a nonresident alien at any time during 2023,
you may be able to take the credit only if your filing sta-
tus is married filing jointly.
The credit is based on your filing status, age, and income.
If you are married and filing a joint return, it is also based
on your spouse's age and income. You may be able to
take this credit if either of the following applies.
Income Limits
Disabled, later.
1. You were age 65 or older at the end of 2023.
2. You were under age 65 at the end of 2023 and you
meet all of the following.
a. You were permanently and totally disabled on the
date you retired. If you retired before 1977, you must
have been permanently and totally disabled on January 1,
1976, or January 1, 1977.
Want the IRS To Figure Your Credit?
If you can take the credit and you want us to figure it for
you, check the box in Part I of Schedule R (Form 1040)
for your filing status and age. Fill in Part II and lines 11
and 13 of Part III if they apply to you. Then, enter “CFE”
on the dotted line next to Schedule 3 (Form 1040),
line 6d. Be sure to attach both Schedule 3 and Schedule R
to your return.
b. You received taxable disability income for 2023.
c. On January 1, 2023, you hadn't reached mandatory
retirement age (the age when your employer's retirement
program would have required you to retire).
Disability Income
For the definition of permanent and total disability, see
What Is Permanent and Total Disability, later. Also, see
the instructions for Part II. Statement of Permanent and
Total Disability, later.
Generally, disability income is the total amount you were
paid under your employer's accident and health plan or
pension plan that is included in your income as wages or
payments instead of wages for the time you were absent
from work because of permanent and total disability.
However, any payment you received from a plan that
doesn't provide for disability retirement isn't disability in-
come.
Age 65
You are considered age 65 on the day before your 65th
birthday. As a result, if you were born on January 1,
1959, you are considered to be age 65 at the end of 2023.
In figuring the credit, disability income doesn't include
any amount you received from your employer's pension
plan after you have reached mandatory retirement age.
Death of taxpayer. If you are preparing a return for
someone who died in 2023, consider the taxpayer to be
age 65 at the end of 2023 if they were age 65 or older on
the day before their death. For example, if the taxpayer
was born on February 14, 1958, and died on February 13,
2023, the taxpayer is considered age 65 at the time of
death. However, if the taxpayer died on February 12,
2023, the taxpayer isn’t considered age 65 at the time of
death.
For more details on disability income, see Pub. 525.
Married Persons Filing Separate
Returns
If your filing status is married filing separately and you
lived with your spouse at any time during 2023, you can't
take the credit.

Income Limits for the Credit for the Elderly
or the Disabled
Example 2. Blake, the president of XYZ Corporation,
retired on disability because of a terminal illness. On the
doctor's advice, Blake works part-time as a manager and
is paid more than the minimum wage. The employer sets
the days and hours for Blake. Although Blake's illness is
terminal, and the work is performed part-time, the work
is done at the employer's convenience. Blake is consid-
ered engaged in a substantial gainful activity and can't
take the credit.
THEN you generally can't take the credit
if:

Example 3. Cameron, who retired on disability, took a
job with a former employer on a trial basis. The purpose
of the job was to see if Cameron could do the work. The
trial period lasted for some time during which Cameron
was paid at a rate equal to the minimum wage. But be-
cause of Cameron's disability, only light duties of a non-
productive, make-work nature was given. Unless the ac-
tivity is both substantial and gainful, Cameron isn't
engaged in a substantial gainful activity. The activity was
gainful because Cameron was paid at a rate at or above
the minimum wage. However, the activity wasn't sub-
stantial because the duties were of a nonproductive,
make-work nature. More facts are needed to determine if
Cameron is able to engage in a substantial gainful activi-
ty.

Part II. Statement of Permanent
and Total Disability
If you checked box 2, 4, 5, 6, or 9 in Part I and you didn't
file a physician's statement for 1983 or an earlier year, or
you filed or got a statement for tax years after 1983 and
your physician signed on line A of the statement, you
must have your physician complete a statement certifying
that:

Disability?
date you retired; or
If you retired before 1977, you were permanently
and totally disabled on January 1, 1976, or January 1,
1977.
•
A person is permanently and totally disabled if both 1
and 2 below apply.
1. They can't engage in any substantial gainful activi-
ty because of a physical or mental condition.
2. A qualified physician determines that the condition
has lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at
least a year or can be expected to result in death.
You don't have to file this statement with your tax re-
turn. But you must keep it for your records. You can use
the physician's statement later in these instructions for
this purpose. Your physician should show on the state-
ment if the disability has lasted or can be expected to last
continuously for at least a year, or if there is no reasona-
ble probability that the disabled condition will ever im-
prove. If you file a joint return and you checked box 5 in
Part I, you and your spouse must each get a statement.
Examples 1 and 2 show situations in which the indi-
viduals are considered engaged in a substantial gainful
activity. Example 3 shows a person who might not be
considered engaged in a substantial gainful activity. In
each example, the person was under age 65 at the end of
the year.
Example 1. Alex retired on disability as a sales clerk,
and now works as a full-time babysitter earning mini-
mum wage. Although different work is performed, Alex
babysits on ordinary terms for the minimum wage. Alex
can’t take the credit because Alex is engaged in a sub-
stantial gainful activity.
If you filed a physician's statement for 1983 or an ear-
lier year, or you filed or got a statement for tax years af-
ter 1983 and your physician signed on line B of the state-
ment, you don't have to get another statement for 2023.
But you must check the box on line 2 in Part II to certify
all three of the following.
1. You filed or got a physician's statement in an earli-
er year.

tered $3,000 on line 12 (the smaller of line 10 or line 11).
The largest amount that can be used to figure the credit is
$3,000.
Lines 13a Through 18
The amount on which you figure your credit can be re-
duced if you received certain types of nontaxable pen-
sions, annuities, or disability income. The amount can al-
so be reduced if your adjusted gross income is over a cer-
tain amount, depending on which box you checked in
Part I.
If you checked box 4, 5, or 6 in Part I, enter in the
space above the box on line 2 in Part II the first name(s)
of the spouse(s) for whom the box is checked.
If the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) certifies
that you are permanently and totally disabled, you can
use VA Form 21-0172 instead of the physician's state-
ment. VA Form 21-0172 must be signed by a person au-
thorized by the VA to do so. You can get this form from
your local VA regional office.
Line 13a. Enter any social security benefits (before de-
duction of Medicare premiums) you (and your spouse if
filing jointly) received for 2023 that aren't taxable. Also,
enter any tier 1 railroad retirement benefits treated as so-
cial security that aren't taxable.
If any of your social security or equivalent railroad re-
tirement benefits are taxable, the amount to enter on this
line is generally the difference between the amounts en-
tered on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 6a and line 6b.

Example 1. You are 63 and retired on permanent and to-
tal disability in 2023. You received $4,000 of taxable dis-
ability income and will report the income on Form 1040,
line 1a. You are filing jointly with your spouse, who was
age 67 in 2023, and will check box 6 in Part I. On
line 11, you will enter $9,000 ($5,000 plus the $4,000 of
disability income you will report on Form 1040, line 1a).
