[NAGDU] Income tax question That is related to blindness and Guide dogs

[Christina Moore]

Hi Vanessa,

I am by no means a tax expert or someone who has had the opportunity to
take advantage of these tax offerings however I found a few useful articles
that might answer your question from both the IRS itself and TurboTax.
TurboTax "Tax Tips for the Blind":
https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/disability/tax-tips-for-the-blind/L80haiutG
IRS Publication 907 (2023) Tax Highlights for Persons with Disabilities
(directs to several other publications):
https://www.irs.gov/publications/p907
I hope this helps in some way.
Thanks.
Christina
