How do i claim the Age tax credit

When you enter your date of birth, TurboTax will automatically calculate the Age amount if you were 65 years of age or older in 2014.  There is nothing more you need to complete or calculate

How do i claim the Age tax credit

If your net income is $34,873 or less, you will see the age amount as noted above.  If your net income is more than $34,873 but less than  $80,980, your age amount is reduced but will still be reflected in your non-refundable credits.  If your net income is more than $80,980, you are not entitled to the age amount.

My income was between $35,000. and 55,000.00 and it would not enter anything. I did it over and over and over and now I am taking this program back and never use it again and am hiring someone. I used it other years and it was great. It does not work.
